The world of Verra features an in-game viewable world map. This map is not randomly generated, and begins covered in a fog of war.[4] Players will not be able to see the world until they have explored it or gathered information about it. The world is also full of imperfect information, which will require the player to act on it for verification.[5]
- For example, you may hear a rumor in a tavern that tells you the location of a cave full of weak Kobolds, but this was not accurate as the rumor was started by well-equipped bandits in order to waylay overconfident adventurers.[5]
- Information about the world will be presented directly to players through the world map UI as it is gathered.[6][7]
- Node tax rates will be visible on the world map by hovering over a node location on the UI.[8]
- The map UI will potentially incorporate player created location markers that are visible by other party members.[9]
- Previously, detailed information about the world was only available through the Library unique node building.[10]
- The map will have geographical choke points caused by non-traversable obstacles (such as Mountains).[13][14][15]
- Even though we're an open-world that doesn't mean that from a design perspective, especially with the way our economic systems work, that we will want to create Geographic choke points.[14] – Steven Sharif
- Zones in Ashes of Creation will cater to all levels.[16]
Verra
The name of the Ashes of Creation world is Verra.[19]
- Verra exists in the material plane.[18]
- There are constellations and multiple moons in the night sky of Verra.[20][21]
- Players start in Verra a few short months after the very first expeditionaries were sent through the divine gateways when they opened from Sanctus.[22]
Shape of Verra
The world of Verra is not flat,[23] but it cannot be circumnavigated.[24]
- The Verran planet is not flat. You may not see a curvature on the horizon in this, but from a lore perspective the universe in Verra does adhere to some basic physics and laws of physics that we experience in the real world, which means it is not flat.[23] – Steven Sharif
- There will not be world wrapping in Ashes of Creation.[24] – Steven Sharif
Biomes
There are approximately 18 biomes (environments) in Ashes of Creation.[30]
We just wanted to represent just about every biome type under the sun really and just have enough diversity over the world that like when you went from area to area , you really just got a contrast of different biome types.[31] – Michael Bacon
World size
1,200 km2 (square kilometers) is the expected total world size of Verra at launch, including land (480 km2) and water/ocean (750 km2), but excluding the size of the Underrealm.[2]
- This has increased from the previously stated total size of 480 km2 including land and water/ocean[34][35][36]; but excluding an additional ~100 km2 of Underrealm.[37]
- The Underrealm did not increase "too much" in size.[38]
- The reason given for expanding the map size was to better accommodate 海军 content and to reduce the overall content density in the world.[2]
- The purpose of it becoming bigger is as I said to make sure that density isn't overwhelming: that it isn't everywhere I look there is immediately something. I have no opportunity to see areas of the world that are expansive and are just wanderlust adventure feeling. Everything was sitting on top of you, POIs and nodes and houses and everything. It was like an urban area everywhere. But we wanted to expand that because a large portion of the game is a sandbox element; it's coupled with a lot of curated content but it's that sandbox element.[2] – Steven Sharif
- The shape of the continents has also changed and two new large islands have been introduced.[2]
Estimated travel times
Travel objective | Running.[13] | Mounted.[13] |
---|---|---|
From one end of a | 2.83 minutes | 1.67 minutes |
From the center of a node to the center of its direct neighbor | 5 minutes | 3.5 minutes |
From the northernmost to southernmost points of a continent | 75 minutes | 50 minutes |
Historical map sizes
Testing phase | Map size (approximate) |
---|---|
Alpha-0 | 16 km2.[41] |
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse battle royale | 6.25 km2.[42] |
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse battle royale Forest of Erinthia | 1.25 km2.[43] |
Alpha-1 | 70 km2.[44] |
Alpha-2 | 220 km2.[44] |
Launch (original estimate) | 480 km2 [34][35][36] |
Launch (new estimate) | 1,200 km2 [2] |
探索
Players will be rewarded for exploring.[48][49][50]
- Exploration is a huge part of the game and there are a lot of systems that are dedicated to rewarding exploration..[49] – Steven Sharif
- Utility skills exist that can help players discover hidden paths and entrances and may lead to discovering hidden quests.[49]
- Certain relics can only be discovered through exploration.[49]
- Constellations may only be seen at certain times at specific locations.[49]
- It's widespread how exploration can affect many different progression paths within the game; and it's not just about visiting an area once and never coming back, because timing matters as well.[49] – Steven Sharif
- Travel times are important in Verra, but it will be easy to get lost or distracted by threats and opportunities.[48][51]
- Threats can come in the form of monsters, events, and Open-world PvP.[48][52][53]
- Opportunities include resources (gathering, transporting, storing, and trading), points-of-interest, achievements, and treasures.[48][49]
- It'll be easy for you to get lost in AoC. That is our goal from an exploration standpoint.[51] – Steven Sharif
- Q: Since travel times are important, what is there to discover that will distract you from going straight to your initial destination? What makes traveling adventurous in Verra?
- A: Aside from threat and opportunity, which are probably the two biggest distractions that you can encounter while traveling through Verra- those come in different forms: Threat. in the form of monsters and events. Opportunities, in the forms of resources and POIs. There's also achievements that are based around exploration. There's treasure maps that can be found. There's a lot of different things that intersect with travel: The movement of resources. The storage of those resources. In which locations, what are available to be sold and purchased at different locations. They might make you detour for. All of those things contribute to why I would go somewhere and instead change my direction.[48] – Steven Sharif
寻宝
寻宝 is not exactly "cartography", but it does involve maps that help to pinpoint the location of hidden treasures throughout the world.[48][49][55][56][57]
- Treasures (and treasure maps) will enable players to reap economic gains from exploration.[49]
- The more treasure a player finds the better maps they can create.[57]
- Hints are given through rumor mills, interaction with different NPCs, and gaining access to potential dig sites.[57]
- Treasure hunting will be a "way of life" rather than a profession.[56]
Treasures may also be obtained through fishing and by exploring naval content.[58][59]
節點
在开服时,将有103个常规节点位置,另外还有15个|城堡节点。(5个城堡x每个3个城堡节点)[60][61][62] 共118个节点.[63][64]
Node locations
Node maps
Players will have access to a node map UI that will show a node's building plot locations.[68]
Node simulation
The developers have created a simulation of node interactions in preparation for Alpha-2 deployment of the node system.[69]
- This simulates how nodes advance and expand their zones of influence over surrounding nodes.[69]
You can show the initial territories on the Verran map of what these particular nodes have governance over, or their Zones of Influence as we like to call them... As the simulation of this begins to advance and nodes begin to expand their territory and they begin to take over nearby nodes as a result of their of their growth, you start to see these power level ratings that are applied here on specific nodes that determines what type of takeover power it has and and what it pushes back against for other nodes that are looking to take over new territory as they advance.[69] – Steven Sharif
- It also simulates events, such as NPCs attacking and disabling certain node buildings and services. Failure to successfully respond to these will reduce the node's "health ticker", which will slow down the XP gains from the node.[69]
It also simulates events: So each of these nodes will have a health ticker: when that health ticker is impacted it'll stop gaining power or gaining or slow down in its gaining of experience; and that's because certain events can affect a node by disabling certain services, disabling buildings. Players don't respond to that horde of zombies that have come out of the nearby ravine then those zombies can attack stables, they can attack service buildings, and prevent particular types of quests or activities and services from happening until it's repaired.[69] – Steven Sharif
- 節點戰 are simulated, with successful sieges destroying the nodes, and where unsuccessful sieges won't destroy the node but may result in disabled buildings or services, similar to events.[69]
It simulates the sieges if a particular node has a certain frequency that's set where we want to see randomization of how nodes get affected by sieges. Sometimes they'll be destroyed in the simulation. Sometimes they'll have disabled services again, similar to an event, because they didn't succeed necessarily at sieging the node but they did succeed at disabling some of the buildings as part of that siege.[69] – Steven Sharif
- It simulates what outcomes may happen in the live game as a result of player activity, such as splitting up a particular ZOI across a waterway, or having territories expand out to islands or across continents.[69]
It simulates what players could potentially do as well when the game goes live; and that might include things like splitting up a particular Zone of Influence across a waterway, having your territory expand out to an island, or across continents. These are these are the types of things that we want to see players do eventually obviously but this tool provides the design team the opportunity to see it repetitively and over a fast period of time so they see these different types of outcomes.[69] – Steven Sharif
Economic regions
Economic regions are static areas defined by geographic points of interest.[71][72][73]
- Castle regions are larger and encompass multiple economic regions.[71]
- 節點 are the glue that hold castle and economic regions together in potential synergy or chaos.[74]
- Castle regions, Economic regions, and Node ZOI (Zones of Influence) can overlap.[75]
The whole map would be under the influence of 1 of 5 castle regions. However, castle regions aren't the only TYPE of region - there are also economic regions, among other things.[72] – Sarah Flanagan
Castle regions
公会城堡 influence a castle region around them.[76]
- A castle's region is 1/5th the game world.[77]
- Castle regions, Economic regions, and Node ZOI (Zones of Influence) can overlap.[78][75]
- A castle could have a metropolis beside it.[79]
- Castle region boundaries are static.[78]
- Guild castles impose a tax on all revenue for the nodes within its region.[80][81]
维拉
- 最大的道路被称为动脉。这些都是曾经的维拉古代公路系统的遗迹。[83]。
- 随着节点推进较小的道路,被称为静脉,连接动脉和节点。[83]
- 根据节点推进的阶段,小路会从节点上干出,连接到兴趣点.[83]。
- 道路或小路不会因为在同一地区的反复交通而被磨损成普通的地面。[83]。
不同的季节和事件可能会影响到各种道路的通行。[85][86][87]。
- 夏季开放的路径在冬季可能会关闭。[87]。
- 季节性影响可能会对通过大篷车运输货物造成障碍或堵塞。[85][86][88]
- 水在冬天会变成冰,使玩家能够在水面上行走,但却阻挡了玩家进入水面下的东西。[87]
- 冰会使道路颠簸和湿滑。[89]
地下世界 路线 将动态地打开或关闭 (基于节点状态).[15]
兴趣点
New points of interest (such as dungeons, world bosses, and corrupted areas) spawn as nodes develop.[92][46] This content adapts to the node progression of the zone it is in.[91][93]
- Additional buildings will spawn.[91]
- Additional mobs will spawn.[91]
- Different antagonists/leaders with different story lines.[91][93]
- Populations will change.[93]
- Content difficulty will change.[93]
- The content may be different altogether.[93]
- Additional quest hooks.[91]
- 地下城 will be unlocked when certain nodes advance to certain stages.[7]
- Drop tables in areas and dungeons will be tied into the progression of certain areas.[7]
- POI events are events that relate to specific points-of-interest (POI).[97]
- The location of points of interest will be the same on each server, but some servers may have limited or no access to them.[98]
- Certain dungeons and other points of interest across the map will all be affected by the server’s node development. Some dungeons will only be unlocked if nodes are developed to certain stages. The storyline objectives for players inside dungeons will also be dependent on the story arc paths chosen through the node system. The drop tables in area and dungeons will also be tied into the progression of certain areas. For example, let’s say that the humans have developed a node in Region A, and a storyline has opened up that leads players to inspect the ruins (dungeon) of a nearby area. And let’s say that this node was developed in a scientific (crafting) zone… Well before the node developed, this dungeon was accessible… But now the dungeon has propagated new monster assets that include a drop table catering to a crafting emphasis because of the development of that academic node. And perhaps, a new boss appears in different rooms of the dungeon that includes different adventure quest starts, like a mysterious item with a storyline that can only be progressed if a node develops to the metropolis stage in a certain region, across the world. Our system is so vast, when it comes to interconnectivity and how the world reacts to the players.[7]
Dungeon locations
地下城 and other points of interest are located throughout the map in-between the 85 node locations.[96]
- As nodes advance and expand they will influence nearby points-of-interest such as dungeon bosses, regional bosses and Raid bosses.[96]
- Multiple nearby nodes may collectively influence larger POIs.[94]
- POIs of this size do not normally attach to just a single node. Usually there are multiple nodes that can potentially influence a large POI. The theming within the node occurs around storylines or NPC spawns and events.[94] – Steven Sharif
- The difficulty level and loot tables of these encounters will change based on this influence.[95][96]
Corrupted areas
Corrupted areas (zones/points of interest) can dynamically evolve with the progression of nodes and story arcs.[100][101][102][103][104][105][92]
- Harbingers that exist on Verra as dungeons are where The Ancients are capable of pushing into the material plane. They can continue to do so under the guise of the effects of corruption as it spreads.[106]
- These are sources of NPC events that players need to address before they grow out of hand.[100][107][105]
- Players need to participate in these events to stop the spread of corruption and hold back the intrusion on the material plane.[100][106]
- If players fail to address these corrupted areas, the frequency of NPC events against their node will increase. These can lead to node buildings and services being disabled, increasing the node's vulnerability to node sieges.[108]
- It can be a very detrimental thing if corruption is not addressed; and that's the intent of corruption, is to present a challenge to the players that if not addressed it becomes exacerbated and a problem over time.[108] – Steven Sharif
- Corrupted areas do not confer corruption onto a player. Only PvP related activities lead to player corruption (in the flagging system).[109][110]
- To degree your mortal coil, as we call it, or what some might consider a soul from your character's perspective within this story- can be influenced and can be changed into a shape that's more in tune with corruption; and that's through doing PvP things you can accomplish that.[109] – Steven Sharif
- When it enters the corruption state outside of weather, in that corrupt state, you will probably see a little bit less of the influence of the season because really it's adopting that corruption, which in-and-of-itself is a season.[111] – Steven Sharif
- Corrupted areas will spawn variations of mobs and resources.[100]
- Corrupted resources are only available in corrupted areas or during certain story arcs.[100][101][112][113][114]
Landmarks
Landmarks are scattered throughout the world, allowing players to judge their position on the map.[115]
From a lore perspective these statues have been around for a long time; and they are representative of the civilizations that existed once on this world before.[115] – Steven Sharif
Major visual landmarks. You can look all the way across the horizon have an idea where you're going or where to meet friends or where to meet just based on these huge landmarks in the world.[115] – Mat Broome
Notable landmarks
- Aela
- Drythorne Gulch
- Gemspring
- Hall of Judication
- Highwaymen Hills
- Kyron'Dun
- Lonely Oak Creek
- Remains of Oakenbane Keep
- The Ruins of Thanalas
- The Wreckage of Carphin
- Titan's Ring
Procedural generation
Ashes of Creation will predominantly have curated content, but procedural mechanics will be leveraged in a places where they don't appear to be 'procedural'.[116]
- Verra's map will not be procedurally generated, but starting resource points may be different on each server.[117][12]
- Node locations and types are predefined and are the same on each server but they will develop differently on each and drive different narratives and storylines.[63][12][118]
- 節點佈局與風格 is determined by several factors, such as Environment (biome) and location, Node type, and Race.[119][120]
- 维拉 are both pre-generated and player influenced.[116][83]
Wherever we can leverage procedural mechanics in such a way that does not appear procedural we should. There's a healthy blend between the things that we do in having defined parameters for it and then incorporating a procedural component; and in that sense it will be perceived well, but where we the predominance of what we're implementing should be curated or by design.[116] – Steven Sharif
Resource locations
The location a resource is found can affect its benefits, bonuses, and other characteristics of that resource.[122]
- Lower level resources will be abundant. Higher level resources that are gatherable by Apprentice level or higher artisans will spawn randomly but in places that make sense for that type of resource. Surveying is a mechanic that solo or group players can utilize to track these resources down.[123][124][125]
- Some resources will exist as a cluster (also called vein gatherables). These will last until the full resource is depleted.[126][124][125][127][73]
- Like a large mine that's present and has a vein of mithril ore in it, or a herd of some type of animal that you can collect fur or wool from.[125] – Steven Sharif
- Once a vein resource is depleted from one location it may respawn in the same location or somewhere else, depending on the type of resource.[125][127][128]
- There will be moving resources such as herds of animals that are constantly moving around the world.[126][128]
- Herds are a source of certain types of wild gatherables but they're in animal form and they're animated; and they exist in a group of the golden fleece sheep that might only spawn very rarely in certain hillsides; and only during spring. And if you can find that vein so to speak of resource you can interact with the herd and you can gather from them.[126] – Steven Sharif
- Corrupted areas house corrupted resources that are necessary components for certain crafting recipes.[112][113]
- Certain types of resources will have a corrupt state... We have a Spirit Bloom, which is a harvestable herbalism plant, but when a Zone becomes corrupt you can potentially yield Corrupted Spirit Blooms; and those are necessary components of certain crafting recipes.[112] – Steven Sharif
- Resources respawn on a cooldown basis.[127]
- Resources won't be locked to the node system.[127]
- Starting resource points may be different on each server.[117][12]
小地圖
There is an in-game minimap and compass user interface in Ashes of Creation.[130][131][132]
- The goal is to allow pings and other forms of communication tools via the mini-map.[133]
Battle maps
Battle maps allow players to strategize, gain bonuses on planned attacks, and see the blueprints of attackable points. Whether attacking a node or castle, players will be able to discern defenses, analyze possible weak points and gain tactical advantages before the battle begins.[5]
- Battle maps might not fit into lower level or smaller sized taverns.
- Battle maps are not currently on the official roadmap for launch.[134]
Usage
Battle maps offer an interactive command map instead of the standard 世界地圖. The system would be accessed through 市政廳 or battle planning center. Battle maps work similar to a Risk board, with the node siege map laid out with moveable pieces that would represent defenses. Moving pieces would create buff zones that would give active siege players access to special items or perks. The map does not show the currently active battle: pieces will have to be moved before the battle commences. The idea is to make sieges more strategic and avoid simple zerg tactics.[134]
賞金獵人地圖
腐化值高的玩家將會顯示在世界及小地圖。這些玩家的位置會由階段 4 (市鎮) 或以上的軍事節點 NPC 標記,然後提供給擁有賞金獵人稱號的玩家。[135] 這些位置的準確性取決於玩家的賞金獵人等級。[136]
酒館是發布懸賞令的地方之一。隨着玩家腐化值增加,酒館會發布懸賞令,緝拿或指示在特定地區掃蕩腐化玩家,從而在世界地圖上建立興趣點。[5]
賞金獵人尋路技能
Skill | Icon | Origin | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Pathfinding | Bounty hunter | Reveals corrupted player locations on the bounty hunter's map.[137][138] Activating this ability will flag the bounty hunter for combat only to corrupted players for a period of one hour from the time of activation.[137] The pathfinding ability can be toggled on or off.[137][139] |
起始地區
起始地區 (starting zones) are located in the ruined cities of the four ancient races of Verra.[142]
- Starting areas are located near one of the four divine gateways where players spawn into the world.[142][143]
- Starting areas are not part of the node system.[147][143]
- Each race has its own starting area.[148]
- Starting areas include expeditionary NPC settlements that serve as initial quest origination points.[143] 世界觀-wise, these settlements represent scouts that were sent ahead of the main expedition back to Verra.[150]
A problem that a lot of MMOs have is that those starting areas become just vacant of players and it's so sad because the greatest aspect of an MMO is that community that you get to experience, so one of the great things about the node system is that it really works from new player acquisition standpoint, where these nodes tend to develop larger near the starting location areas around the world; and it brings these players back to those locations if they're citizens and want services within those cities. So, as new players enter the world they're going to actually be surrounded most likely by more population because people are coming back to those larger nodes.[151] – Steven Sharif
Alpha-1 starting area
The Alpha-1 starting area was set in the ruins of a Pyrian divine gateway to the south of alpha island.[153]
Alpha-2 starting area
- The Riverlands biome houses the Aelan divine gateway in Alpha-2.[155]
Divine gateways
Divine gateways are portals located in the ruined cities of the four ancient races of Verra.[142]
- Divine gateways are where players first arrive in Ashes of Creation.[156]
- Each divine gateway is in proximity to one or more starting area.[142]
- Players can choose their starting gateway.[149] This choice is not restricted by their choice of race.[144]
- Tulnar characters have the same option of starting at any of the divine gateways as other races.[146][144][145]
- The divine gateways were created by the Goddess of Creation in response to a warning from the Goddess of Fate that The Ancients and The Others would return from exile and seek retribution for their defeat at the hands of The Seven gods.[18][157]
Where players start, they enter this portal from another world called Sanctus. Sanctus is a place of no magic, low technology; and players are the first expeditioners that are coming through this portal into the world of Verra.[158] – Jeffrey Bard
Zones of influence
每個節點都有預設的影響覆蓋範圍,稱為影響區域。玩家在影響區域內的活動將影響該區節點的發展。[159]
The main thing that differentiates us from other MMOs is that we have a living, breathing, reactive world... Our world is separated into zones, which are then separated into what we call nodes. Nodes are sort of invisible zones of influence that listen to everything that a player does; so as players gain experience from killing things, gain experience from doing quests, gain experience through crafting things, the node is also gaining that experience. Once a node gains enough experience it levels up and then starts to attract NPCs to it .[160] – Jeffrey Bard
Each Node can form into towns, but are limited by their neighbors. The Nodes have different levels of advancement. There can only be so many of each level. Think of this as advanced settlements needing more elbow room. Nodes encompass more land as they grow and will require more effort to be sustained. This system is a main driver for change in the world because it creates scarcity. As Nodes advance in stages of growth they will lock out neighboring Nodes from progressing, and will absorb their zones of influence.[159]
There is not a space where you will move in to do something and no node will get that experience.[162] – Steven Sharif
- 地底節點與位於其正上方的節點屬於相鄰節點,但不屬於同一影響區域。[163][164][165]
- 大都會的影響區域將覆蓋多達五分之一的世界。該影響區域的邊境內會有多個附庸節點,最終或會看起來像一個國家或民族。[166]
區域與發展
地下城, 大型副本, 世界頭目, Mobs, 任務, Events, 資源, 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.[167][16][63]
- Portions of the spawn tables (for mobs and resources) are static and other portions are dynamic and adapt to node development.[168]
- 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.[169] – Steven Sharif
Coastal nodes
There will be nodes along the coast and on islands.[172]
- These nodes will have specific water oriented influences, services, and questlines, that relate to the seas.[172]
- The open sea does not contribute to the advancement of coastal nodes, even if it falls within the ZOI of the node. This is subject to change during Alpha-2 testing.[173]
- Coastal nodes change the spawn tables of the nearby water content and can also trigger specific events.[174]
- Coastal nodes are not directly siegeable by sea. Instead, harbors offer objective-based naval gameplay during node sieges.[175][176][177]
- We've gone back and forth a little bit on whether or not the design intent for sieging of nodes is intended to include, for certain nodes, the naval component. The concern there was that it would be a difficult thing to balance around that particular node having accessibility from the water for those types of defenses. So what we've presented as an opportunity where harbors are the focal point of those naval interactions; and during sieges you are aware that nodes have certain objectives, which have ramifications and can influence the outcome and/or the ongoings of a particular against a node. And if one of those objectives is a naval objective, because that node might own a harbor, which is a point of interest that gets adopted by a node which advances far enough around it. So you might have one harbor and five nodes that can own that harbor. And the first to hit the village stage adopts the harbor. Then that can become an objective point during a siege that has naval interaction. So that's the direction we've moved towards, rather than allowing the naval component to interact directly with sieging the node itself as opposed to being a part of the objective-based gameplay that exists for a node siege.[175] – Steven Sharif

Climate
Some environments (Biomes) have fixed climates and others are variable.[184][185][27] Dynamic weather of varying intensity can triggered by certain events.[183][184][85][186]
- During those weather events, the area of effect that the event is occurring in will likely have its climate descriptor overridden by whatever the event is specifically. So tornadoes might be windy, blizzards might be cold. And if an arctic dragon comes into a temperate climate it brings the cold weather with it; and that can be interacting with skills and abilities or other functions like farms.[187] – Steven Sharif
- Certain abilities and also professions (such as 農業) may be enhanced or hindered during certain climates and seasonal weather events.[188][189][184][187][190] For example: lightning might be stronger in the rain.[188]
- There are climate effects that occur from a buff standpoint. They can also affect skills like, let's say you're using a frost bolt in a winter climate. There's the ability for those effects to be enhanced and/or stronger in those climates.[190] – Steven Sharif
- Weather conditions affect mob spawning, side quests, gatherables, vehicles, mounts, ships, resistances, targeting, and boss mechanics.[183][189][184]
- Access to dungeons and raids may also be hindered or blocked by changes in climate.[189]
- It was later stated that loot tables will likely not be affected by weather conditions.[189]
- They affect crops and gatherables, vehicles, and mounts, ships, creatures; and loot tables change: their behaviors might change. Resistances and weaknesses or synergies might be relevant in certain seasons or weather systems. Targeting might change the AoE radius might grow for a fire effect if you're in the middle of summer, or it might shrink if you're in the middle of a storm.[191] – Steven Sharif
- Weather events and encounters themselves can include hazards that can appear and shake things up. They can also help too, if you can kite enemies into the lightning strikes or whatever.[182] – Skott B
