角色死亡

Alpha-1 — 于户外地下城死亡。

We don't have deleveling, instead what we have is experience debt. Now the more experience debt you accrue, the greater the detriment to your character; not to the point where you can not get out of the debt. There will always be a way forward to remove your debt. – Steven Sharif

玩家死亡时会化为灰烬。灰烬中包含玩家因死亡惩罚而掉落的物品。 任何玩家都可以即时拾取灰烬。 拾取灰烬不会触发玩家标记。

• 非战斗员 (绿色玩家) 死亡时，将遭受一般惩罚，包括：
  • 损失经验值 (负数经验值)。
    • 技能和数值减弱。
    • 生命力和法力减少。
    • 装备熟练度减少。
    • 怪物物品掉落率减少。
  • 耐久度减少。

  When players die and they take durability loss, our durability loss isn't like other games where it's a gold sink so to speak. It's a combination of both a gold sink and a material sink. So in a sense, even if you only have completed items, when you take that durability loss you are losing out on materials. It's just a debt to the materials that you are losing instead of the active loss of that material in your inventory. So now you are accruing a material debt if you want to repair and increase again the performance of those particular items that take that durability loss. – Steven Sharif

  • 掉落背包内的部分资源和已加工物品。
    • 亦会掉落部分狩猎证书
    • 玩家死亡时，骡隔一段时间才会消失。其他玩家可以击杀骡来拾取身上的物品。
    • 骡死亡时，物品掉落的数量将与玩家死亡时相同。

• 战斗员 (紫色玩家) 遭受的死亡惩罚是非战斗员一半。
• 腐化 (红色玩家) 遭受的死亡惩罚是非战斗员四倍，并根据目前的腐化值，有机会掉落背包内或装备中的物品。 包括：
  • 掉落武器和装备。
  • 能被其他玩家拾取。
  • 腐化玩家将在死亡位置附近的随机地点复活，而不是一般重生点。
    • 非腐化玩家总会在距离死亡位置最接近的重生点复活。
  • 因腐化而遭受的能力减弱只影响 PvP 对战。

满等角色死亡时将损失约 2-3% 总经验值 (未定)。

• As of May 28, 2021, the experience debt in Alpha-1 testing is "completely off mark" and will either be changed or disabled prior to the next spot test.

死亡惩罚将不适用于存在特定目标的活动 (例如商队、公会战、节点战)。

There will not be death penalties applied to event-based deaths. The penalties are in the outcome of the event. So your number of deaths is likely going to impact your ability to win that particular event and that's going to be the penalty. This is it to encourage players to opt in to the events right because the more participation we have the more fun it can be; and we understand that the community at large- there's already a risk versus reward component to these events. We don't need to stack on additional risk versus reward to inhibit kind of- to increase the barrier to entry for players who may not be as interested. – Steven Sharif

• PvP 和 PvE 情况下死亡将遭受同样的惩罚 (未定)。

玩家可能会遇溺而死。

Death penalties

角色死亡 in an open world dungeon in Alpha-1.

We don't have deleveling, instead what we have is experience debt. Now the more experience debt you accrue, the greater the detriment to your character; not to the point where you can not get out of the debt. There will always be a way forward to remove your debt. – Steven Sharif

• Non-combatant (green players) suffer normal death penalties, which include:
  • Experience debt (negative experience). Experience debt scales to approximately 3 to 4 percent of the total XP for that level (subject to change based on testing).
  • Skill and stat dampening, such as Lower health and mana.
  • Reduction in loot drop rates from mobs.
  • Durability loss.

  When players die and they take durability loss, our durability loss isn't like other games where it's a gold sink so to speak. It's a combination of both a gold sink and a material sink. So in a sense, even if you only have completed items, when you take that durability loss you are losing out on materials. It's just a debt to the materials that you are losing instead of the active loss of that material in your inventory. So now you are accruing a material debt if you want to repair and increase again the performance of those particular items that take that durability loss. – Steven Sharif

  • Dropping roughly 20-30% of carried gatherables, materials, and glint. The percentage values are subject to change based on Alpha-2 testing. Glint drops as stolen glint on death.
  • Items made for final consumption are not dropped, such as consumable items created by the Cooking and Alchemy professions.

• Combatants (purple players) suffer death penalties at half the rate of non-combatants.

• Corrupt players (red players) suffer death penalties at four times the rate of non-combatants.
  • Corrupt players also have a chance to drop any equipped items based on their current corruption score, including dropping weapons and armor.

  Any amount of corruption allows a player to drop equipped gear upon death. The higher the corruption the greater the chances. – Steven Sharif

  • Corrupt players respawn at random locations in the vicinity of their death, not at regular spawn points. Non-corrupt players always respawn at the closest active respawn point (to their death).
  • Corruption penalties occur as the corruption is gained (not just at death).
  • Death penalties for corrupt players apply in every location, including naval PvP zones.

Death penalties (mostly) do not apply to objective-based PvP (also called sanctioned events).

There will not be death penalties applied to event-based deaths. The penalties are in the outcome of the event. So your number of deaths is likely going to impact your ability to win that particular event and that's going to be the penalty. This is it to encourage players to opt in to the events right because the more participation we have the more fun it can be; and we understand that the community at large- there's already a risk versus reward component to these events. We don't need to stack on additional risk versus reward to inhibit kind of- to increase the barrier to entry for players who may not be as interested. – Steven Sharif

• Gear degradation applies on death during 商队 PvP.
• Previously it was stated that death penalties do not differ between PvP and PvE.

Non-corrupt players suffer reduced death penalties in naval PvP (open seas) zones.

• These penalties will be less than those for a green player.

Q: We know that the normal death penalty incurs a myriad of penalties for the player, but we don't know the numbers behind this penalty. For instance, what percentage of materials do players drop? What percentage of glint is dropped? How severe is the skill and stat dampening? What is the average time it will take a player to work off XP debt from one death?

A: You're asking about percentile values. You're asking about time that it takes to recoup the percentage and whatnot. Any time that we're at a stage we're in now, and that in Alpha-2 we're going to be testing this, those values are the most subject to change. So to be clear, we're going to do [a] best-guess balance pass for Alpha-2 with the full expectation and understanding that the purpose is- and take into consideration player interaction with those numbers, and what feels best. So just off the bat, those values are not what we should be focusing on at this stage; but, to give you an idea where we are: First of all, when we're talking about dropping items that are in your material inventory, whether that be glint or that be other material types, we're talking roughly between anywhere from 20 to 30% of a stack is going to be lootable on a per-death basis. Now, that is a value that can change based off of the types of bags that you are using to carry those materials. In addition, there's other progression that can allow you, and some stats I believe, that can allow you to mitigate that value also. When we are talking about the percentage that's lost, or excuse me, not lost, the percentage of your level that is accrued as experience debt from death, generally you can expect that that's going to live around three to four percent of the level in accrued experience debt per death. However, additionally, there is a way to mitigate that percentage debt; and that is through the resurrection ability that's provided to Clerics. So, Clerics have the ability to resurrect their allies, and that resurrection will return a percentage that would have been accrued as experience debt. And that return percentage is predicated on the investment into the resability [sic], as well as the stat of the Cleric that is tied to the resurrection effect as well. So those can return percentages, so you can mitigate that to a degree. How long will it take you to recover that, and what stat dampening occurs? Anywhere within a level, if you acquire 100% experience debt for that level, you max out the experience debt, essentially, you don't ever buy that down, you're probably looking around a 20% stat efficacy dampener. So on average, if you're at 100% debt for a level, and you got to work all that off before you can start progressing at the level again, you're at around 20% overall stat dampening. Time it takes you to regain that debt is predicated on the level you're at and how you exp. So, that's a highly variable value. – 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。

• Reduction in gear proficiency.

Experience debt

Experience debt (negative experience) is a death penalty that scales to approximately 3 to 4 percent of the total XP for that level (subject to change based on testing). This was previously stated to be 2 or 3 percent of the total XP for a max level player.

We don't have deleveling, instead what we have is experience debt. Now the more experience debt you accrue, the greater the detriment to your character; not to the point where you can not get out of the debt. There will always be a way forward to remove your debt. – Steven Sharif

• Characters accumulate experience debt on death. This does not delevel characters, but does have detrimental effects until the debt is paid off.

Experience debt is the bite of not achieving success. If I die to a monster because my strategy was bad, because my performance was bad, because my planning was bad: all of that means that debt is the cost I pay for the bad choice. – Steven Sharif

• Resurrection skills allow greater recovery of experience debt than resurrection scrolls.

When we are talking about... the percentage of your level that is accrued as experience debt from death, generally you can expect that that's going to live around three to four percent of the level in accrued experience debt per death. However, additionally, there is a way to mitigate that percentage debt; and that is through the resurrection ability that's provided to Clerics. So, Clerics have the ability to resurrect their allies, and that resurrection will return a percentage that would have been accrued as experience debt. And that return percentage is predicated on the investment into the resability [sic], as well as the stat of the Cleric that is tied to the resurrection effect as well. So those can return percentages, so you can mitigate that to a degree. – Steven Sharif

• Maxing out experience debt for a level can result in roughly 20% stat dampening for that character. This percentage is expected to be highly variable.

• Experience debt decreases the drop rate percentages from monsters.

• 技能点 accrue at specific XP milestones to avoid creating an imbalance with experience debt.

• Experience debt is paid down by the player gaining experience. This applies even to max-level players. Rested experience will increase the rate that the debt is paid back.

Q: Does experience debt at max level interact with rested experience? So, let's say I have experience at max level, will I be able to use rested experience to gain the experience back?

A: Yes. Rested experience is a modifier that occurs when you first receive the experience and then after that modifier happens where that experience goes to buy down the debt is what happens. So, if you have rested experience and you have experience debt and you go out to collect experience, you will be working that debt off faster because of the rested experience. – Steven Sharif

Respawning

Respawn point in Alpha-2.

Non-corrupt players always respawn at the closest active respawn point (to their death).

• Corrupt players respawn at random locations in the vicinity of their death, not at regular spawn points.
• There will not be custom respawn points that can be placed in the world.
• Events in progress may disable certain respawn points in proximity to those events, which might cause players to respawn further away.

That has to do with the lore behind death and resurrection and what it means to have your soul connected as a conduit of that spark of life given from the Goddess of Creation, being that phoenix type of avatar; and if corruption has moved into an area and an event has started, the access to those ley line oriented respawn points may be obscured- might not be accessible. So that could create some additional distance that needs to be traveled as part of these types of events. – Steven Sharif

复活背景故事

Alpha-2 player death animation.

The lore behind how death and resurrection exists within Ashes of Creation is the concept of this Avatar of the Phoenix being represented of the Goddess of Creation, from which all life on this plane has has come from essentially... Because when you do get reborn it's that connection with your soul to the essence that binds you with the Goddess of Creation that brings that spark of the of that Avatar of the Phoenix back and brings you to life through that manipulation of the essence. So this is a little update on the ash effect. – Steven Sharif

Characters entering into the world of Verra are empowered with the spark of life that comes from the Goddess of Creation. This spark houses a portion of what represents their mortal coil/soul and their conduit to The Essence. When a character dies they disintegrate into ashes, in accordance with the mythology of the cycle of life, death, and rebirth that is associated with the celestial avatar of the Goddess of Creation, the phoenix.

• The ash pile conveys the location of the body, so that the character may be selected for resurrection.
• The ash pile is also interractible to allow players to loot any dropped items.
  • These ash piles are immediately lootable by any player.
  • 玩家标记 is not triggered by looting.
• This effect applies to players and not mobs.

The reason for why respawning occurs, as you guys know, the avatar of the Goddess of Creation is the phoenix; and the phoenix obviously has some very stable mythological lore to it with regards to the cycle of life and death and rebirth; and that type of thing. As you enter into the world of Verra you are in a way empowered with the spark of life that comes from the Goddess of Creation herself, and in that sense you're able to house a portion of what that represents in your soul and your... conduit to the essence. – Steven Sharif

Resurrection methods

Characters can be resurrected via abilities and scrolls.

• Class-based resurrection abilities allow greater recovery of experience debt than resurrection scrolls.

There will be scrolls of resurrection available, although there is an element of resurrection that's important as it relates to experience debt and being able to recover portions of that experience debt when utilizing higher grade resurrections that are only available from classes; and then there are lower grade resurrections, which are can be granted through items like scrolls of resurrection that allows for parties who may not have access to a resurrection class. – Steven Sharif

• Mass resurrection abilities may be included in Alpha-2.
  • Certain mass resurrection abilities will be conferred to vehicles, such as ships in addition to player skills.
  • They will be in-combat abilities.

移除腐化

此翻译可能已过时

由 Tad Ehrlich 设计的坟场概念图。

移除腐化的主要方法是死亡。要移除所有腐化效果，可能需要死亡数次。

• 死亡将移除大部分腐化值。
• 获得经验值将也可以减少腐化值。

  在你移除腐化时尝试捕捉你，这为赏金猎人带来一个有趣的体验。 – Steven Sharif

• 腐化玩家或可以透过任务来减少玩家击杀数，让此后可以累积较少腐化值。
  • 原本设计是透过信仰任务来直接减少玩家腐化值。
• 身处军战节点时能减少腐化时间。

Durability loss

The decay system is not going to be some worthless "Oh I'm just going to throw some gold into this and it's a simple gold sink". It's actually going to require some base materials in order to repair decayed items; and decay occurs from death and also the destruction and disable system. For the weapons over the over-enchanting will require those materials as well. So creating that dependency I think is healthy for the crafting economy. – Steven Sharif

There is item durability (item decay) in Ashes of Creation.

• Item durability loss occurs on death.
  • 装备 stored in a player's inventory (that is not equipped) does not lose durability when that player dies.

• Materials are required in order to restore the performance of decayed items.

• Item decay does not destroy items, but it acts as an materials sink.
  • Zero percent durability will unequip an item, significantly increasing its repair costs.

If you allow it to get to certain stages, or to get to a destructed stage then it requires a lot of material components in order to return back to its former glory. – Steven Sharif

• Over enchanting an item comes with the risk of durability loss if a safety margin is exceeded.

There is durability in the game... It's not going to be a trivial durability. There is a potential to destroy gear (weapons and armor), but there is also an ability to reforge that destroyed gear using a portion of the materials necessary as well as finding an item creator who can reforge it. – Steven Sharif

玩家标记

此翻译可能已过时

野外 PvP 标记系统旨在阻止玩家恶意骚扰他人。

• 野外 PvP 将不仅是单纯偷袭谋杀其他玩家。
  • 玩家无疑会进行偷袭，但 Ashes of Creation 的目的是不要让游戏只剩下偷袭。
• 腐化惩罚的严厉程度将能足以阻止一切死守复活点的行为。

Ashes of Creation 的 野外 PvP 标记有三级。

• 非战斗员 (绿色)
  • 所有玩家一开始都是非战斗员。
  • 非强制攻击 ( 如范围技能) 将不会命中非战斗员玩家。
  • 若绿色玩家被怪物击杀 (致命一击由怪物造成)，曾对该玩家造成伤害的玩家不会被标记成腐化。不过由于攻击者不会看到目标的生命值 (队伍、团队、同盟、公会成员除外)，因此攻击他人将代表有机会击死目标，并变成腐化。

这个设计的重点是，除了你的队伍、同盟、公会或团队成员外，你都不能准确掌握对方的生命值。因此如果你想要阴险地攻击其他玩家至接近死亡，然后让怪物尾刀的话，你就有机会造成过量伤害，并变成腐化。 – Steven Sharif

• 战斗员 (紫色)
  • 非战斗员进入开放世界战场时，会自动被标记成战斗员。标记在离开战场后仍会持续一定时间。
  • 强制攻击其他玩家时，会被标记成战斗员。被攻击的玩家还击时，也会被标记成战斗员，否则会维持非战斗员身分。
  • 非战斗员以补血、施加增益效果等方式与战斗员牵连时，会被标记成战斗员。
  • 非战斗员利用战斗宠物 (或其他由玩家操控的) 攻击其他玩家时，会被标记成战斗员。
  • 非战斗员不会因拾取玩家尸体而被标记。
  • 由于战斗员的死亡惩罚较低，击杀战斗员不会有后果，且鼓励玩家这样做。
  • 玩家不能手动将自己标记成战斗员。
  • 攻击非战斗员或其他战斗员时，玩家会被标记 90 秒。
  • 战斗员将不能登出游戏。

• 腐化 (红色)
  • 战斗员击杀非战斗员时，会被标记成腐化。
  • 腐化玩家的死亡惩罚会以倍数增加，其位置也会被赏金猎人掌握。
  • 腐化值会随着击杀非战斗员增加。
  • 非战斗员攻击腐化玩家时，不会被标记成战斗员。
  • 腐化玩家击杀赏金猎人时，腐化值不会增加。
  • 腐化玩家登出游戏的所需时间为 60 秒。

玩家不能攻击同一队伍、团队、公会、同盟的成员。

• 透过设定，玩家可以自行选择影响对象为友方或非友方的范围技能能否命中被标记的玩家。有勾选设定时，范围恢复或伤害技能将影响被标记的玩家。没有勾选设定时，范围技能将不影响被标记的玩家，让施法者不会一同被标记 (若尚未被标记）。

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

标记系统不适用于战争、商队、公会战。

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

背景

An affiliation tree determines how entities are flagged against other entities within its hierarchy.

• Corrupted players can be attacked (or killed) regardless of other affiliations. This is something that will be tested during Alpha-2.
• Node citizenship.
• 同盟.
• 行会.
• Parties.
• 大型副本.
• Family.
• Religion.
• Society.

There's node citizenship. There's guild. There's alliance. There's party. There's raid. There's family. All of these types of affiliations have a hierarchy. The highest of which is your node affiliation: So your citizenship is your greatest superceding relationship, which means if you were a part of a guild and the guild has multiple nodes in which its members are citizens of, if there was a war between two of those nodes, the members of those nodes would be first and foremost citizens who defend that node, even against their own guild members. – Steven Sharif

All of these things have some hierarchy; and within that hierarchy there's the ability to participate within certain systems. So for example, if you have a node that has fallen under your vassal state and you're a citizen of the parent node, then you could participate in a siege against the vassal node but if you're a citizen of the vassal node you could not participate as an attacker against the parent node; so there's a hierarchy, unless you were to renounce your citizenship. – Steven Sharif

Mounted combat (death of mounts)

某些坐骑会有战斗能力。

• 玩家不能骑乘时使用职业 技能。
• 玩家骑乘时，坐骑能够单独被瞄准。
• 坐骑可以被玩家杀害，但经过一定的冷却时间后可以重生。
  • 可以使用药水减少重生冷却时间。

Full loot

There will not be a full loot (full drop) system in Ashes of Creation.

There will not be a full drop and the reason for that is because our intention when it comes to progression within the world is we want it to be meaningful and take some investment on behalf of the player; and if even if from a design standpoint we're like yeah but they have to choose to go to the area; we don't want a choice that a player can make where they delete their character so to speak. – Steven Sharif
