Ashes of Creation
Ashes of Creation is an upcoming MMORPG set in a world of high fantasy where player’s choices will shape and define the world around them.[3]
- Ashes of Creation is a unique take on the MMO experience. Our world structure is dynamic and built to react to the actions of our players. Cities will rise and fall, their populations based on the history of the world as the players create it. Quests will unlock as these populations gather, their needs grow, and secrets are unlocked. As the world’s NPC structure is established in real time, players will have the ability to destroy what they’ve created, paving the way for new development, new populations, and real change. Political strife and intrigue will play a very real role in the structure of your world. Gone are the days of static worlds, change is here to stay.[2]
- The original code-name for Ashes of Creation was The World of Origins.[4]
Nodes
Dentro de cada servidor existem locais de desenvolvimento cuidadosamente escolhidos, chamados Bases.[3]
- Existirão 103 locais regulares de Bases no lançamento, com 15 Bases de castelo adicionais (5 castelos x 3 bases de castelo para cada um)[9][10][11], somando 118 bases.[12][13]
Bases são o coração do mundo, responsáveis por criar o fluxo de vida. Em essência, Bases são pontos pré-determinados no mundo, envolvidos em uma Zona de Influência e cercados de áreas geográficas que mudam com o passar do tempo, de acordo com a participação dos jogadores. O mapa mundial é dividido em regiões, e cada região contém diversas Bases. À medida que uma Base avança, ela influencia o tipo de conteúdo dentro de si e ao seu redor. Jogadoes não criam as Bases. Porém, se forem parte do governo de uma Base específica, terão a habilidade de influenciar a diplomacia, e modificar tipos de prédios/edificações e também os serviços ofeerecidos naquela Base. Haverão 103 locais de Base no lançamento, cada um com seu próprio impacto na narrativa e no desenvolvimento do mundo.[12] – Margaret Krohn
Evolução de Base
Aa atividades de jogadores Cidadãos and não-cidadãos (missões, coleta, raids, etc.) dentro da ZOI de uma base conta para a evolução daquela base específica (progressão).[3] Bases possuem sete (7) estágios de evolução, com barreiras de experiência para cada estágio. Quando uma Base alcança a experiência necessária em seu estágio atual, ela evolui para o próximo.[12]
Estágio de base.[3] | Nome alternativo.[15] | Tempo para evoluir.[3] | Residência de jogadores.[16] | |
---|---|---|---|---|
0. | Região Selvagem | - | ||
1. | Expedição | Encruzilhada | Algumas horas | - |
2. | Acampamento | Campo | Muitas horas | - |
3. | Vilarejo | Vila | Alguns dias | Casas de pequeno porte |
4. | Município | - | Muitos dias | Casas de médio porte |
5. | Cidade | - | Algumas semanas | Casas de grande porte |
6. | Metrópole | Metro | Muitas semanas | Mansões |
A Área de Desenvolvimento de uma Base é onde a civilização apareçerpa à medida que a Base evolui. Com o aumento do Estágio da Base, diferentes prédios, PNJs, e serviços ficarão disponíveis na Área de Desenvolvimento. Quanto maior o Estágio da Base, mais complexa e povoada a Área de Desenvolvimento se torna. Áreas de Desenvolvimento também irão variar dependendo do Tipo de Base - Mercantil, Militar, Científica, ou Divina; entraremos em detalhes sobre cada um desses Tipos em posts futuros nessa série.[14] – Margaret Krohn
A evolução de uma base libera seu conteúdo único, mas vem com a desvantagem de travar o avanço de um número cada vez maior de bases vizinhas.[18]
- Bases avançam para o primeiro estágio rapidamente. Isso disponibiliza serviços de PNJs como vendedores e armazenamento de itens.[19]
- Quanto mais evoluída uma base, maior sua ZOI.[6]
- Bases menos evoluídas (chamadas de bases vassalas) que se encontram dentro da ZOI de uma base mais evoluída ainda podem ganhar XP, mas precisam ficar em um estágio de evolução menor que o da base dominante.[17]
- O sistema de vassalos começa quando uma base chega no estágio 3 (vilarejo), mas bases vizinhas em estágios abaixo de 3 também bloqueiam o crescimento de seus vizinhos imediatos.[20]
- Devido à maneira que o algorítimo de progressão calcula a expansão territorial (ZOI) durante a evolução de base, existe a pequena possibilidade de duas bases no mesmo estágio ficarem próximas uma da outra.[21]
- O algorítimo de expansão territorial leva em conta a costa mais próxima, bases vizinhas, e a atividade de jogadores nas áreas próximas ao longo das últimas semanas ou mês.[22]
Normalmente o algorítmo que é aplicado à expansão territorial de uma base previne que bases significantes fiquem próximas...Pode acontecer uma incrível coincidência onde toda a progressão algorítmica de território faça com que essas bases fiquem próximas pois existem certos requerimentos necessários para a dominação de uma base vassala; e é possível que duas bases nunca dominariam a outra como vassala e acabem ficando próximas e crescendo em direções opostas: fica parecendo Um Conto de Duas Cidades.[21] – Steven Sharif
- Uma base não recebe XP de bases dentro de sua ZOI até que eles tenham chegado ao limite de XP.[17]
- Jogadores são movidos para um local seguro se colidirem com estruturas que aparecem durante a evolução de base.[23]
- Cidadãos de uma base podem contribuir para o avanço de outras bases.[24]
- A porcentagem exata de experiência de evolução ao obter itens ou matar monstros não será conhecida explicitamente para evitar que os jogadores "otimizem" o sistema.[25]
Pessoas diferentes tem recursos diferentes investidos na progressão de uma base, e seria meio 'meta' se você soubesse exatamente o que é necessário para evoluir, pois isso desincentivaria jogadores de participarem.[25] – Steven Sharif
Cercos de base
Cercos de base permitem que os jogadores destruam bases.[14] Isso abre o caminho para novos desenvolvimentos e o acesso a conteúdos bloqueados nas bases próximas. Devido a essa dinâmica, o conflito político e a intriga fazem um papel importante na estrutura do mundo.[3]
Cercear uma base não será uma tarefa fácil para os atacantes. Cidades e metrópoles terão uma vantagem defensiva considerável.[3]
Se você possui um lar em uma base e não quer que ele seja destruído, terá que defender a cidade![27] – Steven Sharif
Bases podem cair de nível de acordo com a Atrofia de Base.[14]
Combate
Combate in Ashes of Creation is focused on strategy and tactics.[31]
- Combat is the most tactile system in the game. It needs to feel responsive, mobile and fluid. It needs to give a feeling of satisfaction.[29]
- We will continue to iterate on combat until it is in a place that collectively we as a community can say 'this may not be my particular combat, but this combat is good.' That is the driving force and factor behind the development of combat; and that is how we are going to continue to iterate upon it, utilizing of course the player feedback from our community, but also keeping you guys informed and up to date as we continually iterate on combat.[32] – Steven Sharif
- Combate is animation-driven to ensure it is impactful and responsive.[33]
- VFX and sound effects are an important part of selling the weight and immersion of combat.[34][35]
- Camera effects such as screen shake and radial blur are used to "sell a lot of the weight without being too over the top".[36]
- I think one of the things that helps set Ashes apart from an effects perspective is that we want VFX to be dynamically generated. We want them to interact with the world. We want them to feel like they are part of the combat.[37] – John Kent
- We're building a singular tool that all of the teams can use to build abilities and tweak their sound effects, visual effects, animation design, engineering: All using the same tool grounded in animation to build these abilities.[35] – Keenan Reimer
A revamped combat system will be rolled out during and post Alpha-1 testing.[38][39]
- Alpha-1 combat was focused on core functionality rather than combat balance.[40]
- Alpha-2 combat will include archetypes, significant ability support, augments, split-body combat, weapon attacks, and many additional items, among other things.[41]
- The developers will be testing whether or not to use global cooldowns GCDs on different types of abilities during Alpha-2.[42]
- The game isn't focused around cover-based combat mechanics.[43]
- I might be on a rampart or behind a wall and that could be destroyed removing my cover, but not like a Gears of War or something, where I slide up to a piece of rock, or the corner of a wall or something.[43] – Steven Sharif
Factions
Não há facções pré-definidas no Ashes of Creation.[44]
- Há pseudo-fações (facções temporárias) no Ashes of Creation.[45]
- As Guerras de Bases sinalizam os cidadãos das bases em guerra e seus aliados como inimigos durante a guerra.[45]
- Guerras de Guilda sinalizam os membros das guildas participantes e seus aliados como inimigos durante a guerra da guilda..[45]
- Organizações sociais oferecem missões para atacar outras organizações.[45]
Apresentamos ao jogador esses eventos de fricção suave e depois isso determina quem são seus amigos e seus inimigos.[45] – Steven Sharif
Como não temos um sistema de facções, você quer conceder ao usuário a capacidade de fazer coisas que são "más" ou "boas", então tem que haver uma infinidade de escolhas no lado mau para que eles possam participar.[46] – Steven Sharif
Open world
Ashes of Creation will be a seamless open-world experience.[49]
There will be an approximately 80/20 split between open world vs instanced encounters.[50][51][48][52][53]
- Around 80% of the content is open-world, where healthy competition is an instigator for player friction; for potential cooperation; for the ability to yield alliances; and the political theater that comes with it. This is an intended part of the PvX design of Ashes of Creation.[50][54][51]
- In situations where we want to contain a particular type of raid, we will utilize instancing; and that can protect certain engagements with certain bosses. But that's really more on the 20% of the scenarios will have instancing protection like that. Around 80% of the content is open-world, where competition is- healthy competition is an instigator for soft player friction; for potential cooperation; for the ability to yield alliances; and the political theater that comes with it. So that's an intended part of the PvX design of Ashes. It's a core philosophical point. And just to be clear, that is not for everyone. We are not trying to make a product that appeals to every MMO gamer. That's impossible; and so we've been very upfront and forthright with what we are trying to accomplish and what our core pillars of philosophical design are.[51] – Steven Sharif
- Castle and node sieges may contain instanced locations where specific groups can participate in certain objective-based waypoints.[55]
- Masmorras and raids will maintain an open world feel while also capitalizing on the benefits of instanced mechanics.[56] Instancing is only going to happen in certain dungeons where the desire is to have greater narrative appeal.[51][57] Outside of these and arenas there will not be too much instancing anywhere else.[49]
- There will be some open dungeons that have bosses at the end of the dungeons. There will be some open dungeons that just have a multitude of dungeon bosses, not necessarily world raids or something; and there will be lots of different rooms and they'll be progressive in the sense that in the earlier parts of the dungeon they'll be lower level and then at the later parts of the dungeons deeper down they'll be higher level and more difficult; and that creates again I think an ecosystem of where players across a multitude of levels have an opportunity to coexist within certain areas of the world; and that's good from a social dynamic. It's good from a recruitment dynamic. It's good from just a liveliness and relevance of particular areas. So that you don't end up with these locations that once you pass a certain level like it's empty.[58] – Steven Sharif
- We're probably going to do instancing only in certain dungeons and in arenas. You probably won't see instancing too much anywhere else. What you see is gonna be what you get.[49] – Jeffrey Bard
The PvP flagging and corruption system is in place to safeguard against griefing without limiting opportunities for open conflict.[60][51][61]
- Healthy competition is seen as an instigator for player friction; for potential cooperation; for the ability to yield alliances; and the political theater that comes with it. This is an intended part of the PvX design of Ashes of Creation.[60][51]
- This friction presents an opportunity to engage in the political aspects of the game, which is the lifeblood of what keeps players interested and invested in the game.[60][51][58]
- Q: When you reach the bosses in [open world] dungeons can you be jumped?
- A: For the most part if there are bosses at the end of dungeons, it is possible for you to get jumped.[58] – Steven Sharif
- Q: In an open world dungeon, what prevents others from just waiting until you're at the boss and then killing you and taking your boss's loot? What prevents mega guilds from just owning an area and preventing you from accessing or enjoying it?
- A: In a majority of cases, we do not want to prevent another group from engaging potentially in PvP. We disincentivize it by creating safeguards within the flagging system that make that decision very concerning for the people that might go corrupt; and if you're in the large enough group of numbers I doubt you're going to experience that unless there's some rivalry between guilds. In which case there's apparatuses like Guild Wars that are more opt-in. You can drop guild tag if you want. But anyways, the competitive nature of this environment is a PvX element.[51] – Steven Sharif
PvE
The Node system facilitates the generation of new PvE content such as Missões, Masmorras, Raids and Moedas do monstro.[66]
There is going to be a lot of PvE content for all portions of the playerbase... Part of that risk versus reward: Your risk is your time you're putting in to having a chance at getting the reward and successfully completing; and that should feel good based on how much time you devote. Now I know that there's a spectrum of casual and hard-core players in the time there, what we can do, but that's why we have many different content paths that play towards how you affect the world around you.[67] – Steven Sharif
PvE content adapts to the development of the world to avoid repetition.[65]
Pvp
O Pvp (combate jogador vs jogador) é o catalisador para a mudança no Ashes of Creation.[69] O combate entre jogadores pretende ser significativo, desde batalhas de Caravanas até vastos conflitos mundiais abertos disputados pelo orgulho de Reis e Rainhas.[66]
Os jogadores são motivados por coisas diferentes, porque querem algo do jogo que os outros jogadores não querem, isso vai fazer com que as pessoas tenham desavenças. Jogadores diferentes vão querer experiências diferentes e o conflito entre os dois vai criar uma coisa maior e melhor. Da briga vem o renascimento e isso é um símbolo central, é um tema central que ocorre durante todo o jogo.[27] – Jeffrey Bard
Há muitas razões para engajar no PvP de mundo aberto em Ashes of Creation.[70]
- Recursos escassos .[70]
- Áreas de caça.[70]
- Caravanas.[70]
- Cercos.[70]
- Guerras de Guilda.[70]
Só porque nosso sistema de sinalização dá corrupção aos pkers, não significa que o PvP não vai acontecer. Há muitas razões para o PvP ocorrer em um mundo aberto. Recursos escassos, áreas de caça no mundo aberto, caravanas, cercos, guerras entre guildas, etc.[70] – Steven Sharif
As penalidades de morte não se aplicam a eventos baseados em objetivos (tais como caravanas, guerras entre guildas, e cercos de bases).[71]
Gear
There may be some gear binding (BoE or BoP) but it will be an exception rather than the rule, as this doesn't facilitate the objectives for the economy.[72]
- Very little gear will be account bound or soulbound in Ashes of Creation.[73][74]
- The game economy is based around crafting and degradation of items.[73]
- Gear is obtained via crafting, gathering and processing along with raid and dungeon bosses.[74]
A lot of what we experienced in games that usually come before us is that many things are account bound and they're soulbound to your character... Instead very little here is character bound. Very very little. The vast majority of gear- yes you will get quest related gear as rewards- but it won't be let's say one set in one dungeon and you must run the dungeon over and over. Instead we want to really emphasize the reliance on the economy and crafters and gatherers and processors to support a majority of the gear structure in-game, combined with that of world raid bosses and dungeon bosses; not a repetitive quest line through a single dungeon.[74] – Steven Sharif
- Armas and armor are not class locked, but certain classes are more efficient with certain types of weapons or armor.[75][76]
Armas and armor are not race locked, but armor will take on a racial appearance.[77][78]
Weapon types
Different weapon types offer different passive skills and proc effects from their weapon skill tree as well as different waterfall stats.[80]
- Axes (One and two handed).[81]
- Bows.[81]
- Clubs.[82]
- Daggers.[81]
- Hammers.[83][84]
- Lances.[85]
- Maces (One and two handed).[81]

The following weapon types are not equippable by players in the MMO.
- Crossbows will not be in the MMO.[92][93]
- Previously crossbows were present in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.[94][95]
- Potion launchers will only be able to be used as ship attachments in the MMO.[96][97]
- Previously potion launchers were present in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.[95][98]
There is an even split between melee and ranged weapons.[81]

Raças
Ashes of Creation offers nine playable races.[109][110]
Parent race | Races | |
---|---|---|
Aelan Humans | Kaelar.[111] | Vaelune.[111] |
Dünzenkell Dwarves | Dünir.[111] | Niküa.[111] |
Kaivek Orcs | Ren'Kai.[111] | Vek.[111] |
Pyrian Elves | Empyrean.[111] | Py'rai.[111] |
Tulnar.[112] |
Verra is a world with rich and diverse cultures. Much of its important history has been dominated by the major races. Humans of the coast and plains, Orcs within the hills and the marshes, Elves in the forest and the riverlands, and the esteemed Dwarves of the mountains. The major races have held dominance through countless wars and skirmishes between the lesser races of Verra. Decades may pass between these flareups of violence. There are many minor races on Verra. Some of the minor races exist in makeshift villages or tribes if you will. Some of the major villages among the minor races are comprised primarily of the Giants, less reputable sects of Human, Gnomes, and Halflings. The Halflings are not Halflings in a traditional sense but actually half-bloods of different races.[113] – Steven Sharif
Wandering the darker places in the world lie truly sinister abominations of creation. The great churches of civilization often dispatch heroes of the state to eliminate these threats to mortals. There currently exist four great nations on Verra. This is 25 years roughly before the fall: The Aelan Empire, Pyrian Kingdom, the Kaivek Protectorate, and the nation of the Dünzenkell. There was not always only four great nations. Long ago the races were more divided into many nations and city states.[114] – Steven Sharif
In the 7,000 years of recorded history, wars upon wars were fought. Some for land, others for resources, many for beliefs. Royal houses stood and fell over the years. Some now long bereft of lordship. Many city states exist in Verra. Some self-governed bastions of democracy and republics alike. Others are vassal states at the behest of their benefactors.[115] – Steven Sharif
Religiões
There are six primary religions as well as a Tulnar/Underrealm religion.[117][118][119]
- Religion is intended to be a motivator, not an aesthetic.[120]
- Choosing a religion enables players to walk a light or a dark path through their choice of questlines and other actions.[121][122][116]
- Players will not be able to worship The Others at temples, but certain quest paths will allow darker forms of worship.[123]
- There will be questlines. There will be certain actions that players are capable of taking to perhaps pursue the darker side of this metaverse so to speak.[121] – Steven Sharif
Sometimes games in the past have tried to shy away from heavy emphasis on religion because of the parallels that can occur between what is in the real world and this fantasy realm. I don't really subscribe to that theory. I think that religion plays a very significant role in the story of what Ashes of Creation is about and it is very much this almost monolithic idea of good vs. evil; so that is really at the crux of what the overarching narrative will be in the game; and I'm not trying to pigeonhole players into "everyone has to be good", like I said earlier there will be opportunities for players to deviate from that, should they so choose to roleplay in that regard.[117] – Steven Sharif
The Tulnar religion is a combination of religious beliefs of the major races as well as pagan beliefs of the minor races over time as they coexisted together in the Underrealm.[125]
- The Tulnar are not a result of corruption.[126]
- The progression of the Tulnar- while they are still the staples of what were once the primary deities of the good pantheon remained for the Tulnar, over the time they existed and evolved into the society that they are at the return to Verra. It's much more similar... to the way the Creole religions advanced, with using components of Christianity as well as Voodoo and other smaller, more "paganesque" religions; and incorporated them into one. To that degree, you can correlate the way that society around the Tulnar has this almost combination of what were pagan beliefs from the minor races as well as the introductions of the major beliefs and religions from the major races, because they all came together in the Underrealm and survived in that regard. So you’re gonna see naturally a combination of those two things.[125] – Steven Sharif
Classes
Com 8 Modelos para combinar, jogadores poderão escolher um total de 64 combinações para criar suas próprias classes.[127][128][129]
Lore
There are different parts to the Lore in Ashes of Creation.[133]
- It is about mythology and discovering what truths mythologies are talking about and finding out what really happened on this world so long ago; and that's part of that discovery process; and we want people to feel that throughout the game, not just in terms of lore but in terms of the world itself.[134] – Jeffrey Bard
Story arcs drive one or more storyline quests within the game.[135][136][137][138][133] Story arcs branch into different stories with multiple possible endings depending on the quest objectives that players complete during each chapter.[135][136][138]
- It is possible for some storylines to relate to a darker/evil path, if a character should choose.[116]
- We're keeping lore very close to the chest and the reason for that is because it is very rich. It is diverse. It will have applications outside of just the MMORPG. We intend to take it much further, but I want it to be something that the players get to reveal themselves, that's not just handed to them and then the experience is lost. They should feel when they're experiencing this that it relates to them on a personal level.[139] – Steven Sharif
Pilares de design
O design de Ashes of Creation adere a cinco Pilares de Design.[140]
Ao projetar o Ashes of Creation, nós aderimos cada detalhe a cinco pilares principais: História Imersiva, um Mundo Reativo, Interação entre Jogadores, Agência do Jogador, e Risco vs Recompensa. Mesmo no ambiente, tudo o que você, como jogador, faz, vai amarrar a estes pilares, enquanto tudo o que sua guilda faz, tudo o que seu servidor faz, no final das contas, vai manter o mundo fresco, sempre em mudança e, o mais importante... excitante.[140]
Inspiration
Ashes of Creation has taken inspiration from various other MMORPG titles.[141]
- In terms of what came before, we're trying to figure out who did what best and take inspiration from that: Move the genre forward; keep things updated and bring it into the 21st century.[141] – Jeffrey Bard
- Eve Online with its regionalized economy and risk vs reward in transportation.[141]
- ArcheAge with its building systems, transportation and naval combat.[141]
- Star Wars Galaxies with its crafting systems.[141]
- Lineage II with its risk vs reward, castle sieges, flagging, open world PvP and guild progression.[142][143][144][141]
- A lot of the systems in Lineage 2 were based around a concept that got lost today in mmorpgs, and that's risk versus reward. You know this idea that the more you risk the greater potential reward should be present is a complete paradigm shift away from everyone's a winner, everybody gets a participation reward, and here you go, congratulations you're a player in this game; and that's boring. It gives nothing for a person to aspire to achieve something, or to feel the bite of loss when you fail. Those are the driving forces of why people want to play games and it's a reason why new games when they come out have such a short lifespan, because they are always competing with WOW. You don't have to compete with WOW. You don't have to be a WOW killer. You can focus on something that is different from a philosophical design standpoint; and I think that's just what a lot of studios today don't want to take the risk on.[143] – Steven Sharif
Open development
Estúdios intrépidos has embraced an open (transparent) development approach, rather than sharing information through carefully curated press releases and announcements.[145]
- Player feedback is important, but the developers will not change what they consider to be the core identity and vision for the game.[146][147][51][148][149]
- Player feedback is important, however the identity and the vision of the game is not up for discussion; and so when we talk about the core systems and tenets and philosophies behind what the game that we're trying to make is, we believe that the game we are trying to make resonates with a large enough section of the MMORPG player base that it is a sustainable and profitable venture for us to create that core game. Now, the ancillary systems that live around the core philosophy of Ashes of Creation, or the subtleties and what we need to do in order to make a particular system or feature better... that we want to collect player feedback.[147] – Steven Sharif
- Some game aspects will be more polished than others before they are presented.[150]
- The delicate blend between a transparent development process, but also understanding that [the] majority of your player audience will not grasp, or will not take into context, what a work in progress looks like. So certain things we have to polish to the point where they're presentable; where they can be understood- again in its own context without my verbal support or Margaret's verbal support.[150] – Steven Sharif
- I think that we live in an age where it's easy to be transparent if you're not trying to hide something. The downside is if you're showing something that's not a completed or finished product, it is incumbent upon the viewer to understand that fact.[145] – Steven Sharif
- The purpose of transparent development is to enable participation and feedback from the community without the need to purchase access.[151]
- The whole purpose of our development process being transparent being open is that you don't have to buy a package actually to participate. You can be a voice from the community. You can observe people playing. You can give your experiences and feedback.[151] – Steven Sharif
- I don't answer to a board. I don't answer to a publisher. We answer to our players; and we try to be as transparent as possible with showing our progress; and showing it in a timely manner.[152] – Steven Sharif
- There are obviously going to be some aspects of the development that we will not reveal, like lore and some system mechanics in order not to spoil the game for release.[153] – Steven Sharif
Payment model
Box cost
There is no upfront box cost associated with Ashes of Creation.[155]
Nobody should feel that they have to back the project to see it come to life. It's coming to life regardless of that. You do it because you want to support us and that's fine; and if you don't want to, that's also fine as well. We want to hear your voice and we want you to be part of the community, so that's a very important aspect. Nothing we offer in the pre-order packages are power driven. They don't give any competitive advantage to an individual who backs the game.[151] – Steven Sharif
Subscription model
Ashes of Creation (the MMORPG) is a subscription-only game with no box cost.[158]
- The monthly subscription fee is USD $14.99.[159][160]
- There will be no region locking, but certain regions will have "harmonized" subscription prices that better reflect their local economies. Harmonized regions will be segregated from other regions.[161][162][163]
- Certain regions will have "harmonized" subscription prices that better reflect their local economies. Harmonized regions will be segregated from other regions.[161] – Ry Schueller
- Lifetime subscriptions were granted to crowdfunding backers at the Braver of worlds level or higher.[164][165] These will never be available again.[166]
- Subscriptions will begin at launch or, subject to change, a user may be able to choose to activate their subscription to start at a particular point in time.[167]
- Game time (earned through crowdfunding and pre-order packs) will not begin counting down until the game is released.[168]
- I think a sub cost provides both the barrier of entry to prevent, some not all, but mitigate some gold selling bots and whatnot because there's a cost associated with playing the game, but it's also not too high that it gets on the greedy side or prevents a lot of players from participating and trying the game; and then if the game is good then people will continue to subscribe and that subscription provides funding and revenue for the developers to continue a significant content creation and expansion rollout for the game.[169] – Steven Sharif
- There is no P2W in Apocalypse or the MMORPG![171]
Expansions
DLC expansions (post-launch releases) are planned on a monthly, quarterly, or six-monthly basis.[172][173]
- The frequency and size of expansions will be based on the popularity and subscription base of the game.[172]
- DLC will not cost anything more than the normal subscription.[174][175]
- New content will primarily be introduced through the node system. The goal is for existing content to remain relevant alongside the new content.[177]
- Expansions provide an opportunity for the developers to evaluate ways to unlock content that was not readily experienced by players in the previous release.[178]
- Each inflection point, which is those updates as expansions... you get to go back reevaluate. Hey, it seems like 89% of the servers out there never opened this door. Well, maybe the predicates were too granular. Maybe they were too focused. Maybe there's a reason why that didn't happen? Let's expand on that for the next expansion so that this content has an opportunity to come out and see the light of day.[178] – Steven Sharif
Pay to win
Ashes of Creation will not be pay to win.[179][169][180]
- Ashes of Creation will not be pay to win, that is our pledge to the community. One of the core principles we set forth with Ashes of Creation is a very strong desire to maintain the game's even playing field.[180]
- A lot of developers and companies have come along in the past- and I've been hit by this too- and they've said we're not going to have pay-to-win and then boom they roll out some pay-to-win. We have consistently said we won't be pay-to-win and in the pre-orders that we provide and even in the Kickstarter there were absolutely zero pay-to-win components whatsoever. So not only will we talk the talk but we will walk the walk as well.[169] – Steven Sharif
- Because we are a non-box purchase game, meaning there is no box price to play Ashes of Creation, it is only a subscription; and that's beneficial because it reduces the barrier of entry and we want a high population obviously; but at the same time one of the ways we augment the revenue flows to sustain constant updates and new chapter releases and additional content within the game is through a cosmetic-only marketplace; and that means absolutely no pay-to-win whatsoever; and that will be adhered to forever.[179] – Steven Sharif
Inventário slots, RNG loot boxes and XP potions are considered pay-to-win.[181][182][183][184]
- There will not be level boosts or auto-leveling.[185]
- There will not be a loot box system in Ashes of Creation.[181]
- We will not use a loot box system for cosmetics either. We currently have a cosmetic store that offers limited time, limited quantity items to help sustain game development. These items are purely decorative and do not offer any in-game benefits.[181]
- Multiple accounts and multi-boxing on separate computers is not currently considered pay-to-win.[182][186][187]
- My definition of pay-to-win is really anything that affects the in-game economy, the in-game action pool, your abilities and/or skills... In my opinion the inventory slots and the XP potions would be considered pay-to-win.[183] – Steven Sharif
- Items sold in the store that are also obtainable through gameplay are still considered pay-to-win.[188]
- It undermines an achievement when you remove the need to achieve it.[188] – Steven Sharif
- Q: Will there be RNG boxes?
- A: I dislike RNG. Archeage made me loath rng monetization gimmicks.[184] – Steven Sharif
Cosmetic store (micro transactions)
A Loja de cosméticos permite aos jogadores compras de Cosméticos para uso em Ashes of Creation.[190] A loja de cosméticos oferece itens disponíveis por tempo limitado e em quantidade limitada, que ajudam a manter o desenvolvimento sustentável do jogo.[191]
- Cosméticos equitativos, tanto de um ponto de vista de qualidade como de quantidade, são obteníveis por meios dentro do jogo.[191]
- Nada na loja de cosméticos será pay to win.[192]
Nada na nossa loja jamais será pay to win (pagar para ter vantagens no jogo), já que acreditamos que essa prática fere fervorosamente o gênero dos MMORPGS..[192]
- Cosméticos da loja oferecerão uma diversa seleção de visuais únicos. [193]
Eu quero incentivar a compra de cosméticos na loja pela sustentabilidade das expansões que tenho planejadas, já que não temos valor de venda nelas. Eu quero incentivar a compra oferecendo itens limitados: Tempo limitado para compra, quantidade limitada, assim você sente confiança de que quando você compra quaisquer skins, elas não serão oferecidas novamente de alguma outra maneira.[191] – Steven Sharif
- Todos os itens da loja de cosmético serão não negociáveis.[194] Não haverá mecanismo de presentear itens cosméticos.[195]
Eu não quero que itens cosméticos comprados pelo mercado sejam transferíveis... porque essa seria uma possibilidade de transformar dinheiro real em vantagens no jogo.[195] – Steven Sharif
Alts
- Progressão pathways in Ashes of Creation are per-character.[198][199]
- Storage space is shared between characters on the same account.[198][200][201]
- Characters on the same account are able to share player housing, including furniture and freehold workstations.[198]
- Cosméticos can be reassigned to characters within an account, with a potential cooldown period.[202][203][204]
- Alts within a single account may have different professions.[205]
End-game
Ashes of Creation will not have a typical end-game where content is essentially static and repetitive. Instead, max-level characters will be able to engage with many different gameplay loops that open up based on how the world progresses over time.[206][207]
- Endgame to me communicates static. It is static structure. Okay, you've entered this loop, now and this is your end-game loop that you will repeat over and over. Whereas instead, the approach for Ashes is you have now reached a point where all of these loops are relevant; and the loops are present to you depending on how the community engages the world. And it's up to you to identify the most promising loops because you have a finite amount of time and resources in which you can engage with them. And that's then where strategy becomes a part of the picture: How will I choose to engage with these loops to maximize my return, or to maximize the specific benefit I wish to bring in individual, group, myself, or guild.[206] – Steven Sharif
- Part of the whole experience with nodes is that there is no real end-game, in that the world is constantly shifting every day. Month one is going to be really different from month two; and that's for the level 50s and level 1s.[207] – Jeffrey Bard
ESRB rating
The aim is for Ashes of Creation to have a T for Teen rating, but it may end up having a M for Mature rating.[209]
- There may be an option to turn off blood and gore in the game.[210]
- There probably won't be swearing in quests.[211]
The antagonists in this game are definitely dark... We're not going grimdark at all, but there are parts of it that get that way.[211] – Jeffrey Bard
Game difficulty
Ashes of Creation will be on the higher side of difficulty when it comes to engagements.[212][213][214]
- 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.[212] – Steven Sharif
Learning curve
Ashes of Creation will be easy to understand yet hard to master.[215]
- 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.[216] – Steven Sharif
Target demographic
The developers want Ashes of Creation to appeal to both younger and older generations of MMO gamers.[217]
- 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.[217] – Steven Sharif
Player types
Ashes of Creation will cater for a variety of player types from Raiders or PvPers to Role players and Crafters.[218]
- 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.[218] – Steven Sharif
Casual vs. hardcore players
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.[219][220][221][222]
- Some progression paths will be more immediately achievable, which are more suited to casual players.[220]
- Triggered events such as cravans and sieges will allow casual players to participate in impactful events without significant time investment.[223]
- 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.[224]
- 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.[223] – Steven Sharif
- Other progression paths will require a significant time investment, which casual players will take longer to achieve than hardcore players.[220]
- 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.[220]
- 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.[220] – Steven Sharif
Game balance
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.[225] – Steven Sharif
Class balance
As sessenta e quatro (64) classes são divididas em oito arquétipos primários. O balançeamento de habilidades ativas se relaciona apenas a estes oito arquétipos primários.[226][227]
- Há quatro grupos primários de aprimoramentos atribuídos a cada arquétipo base. O balanceamento dos aprimoramentos está relacionado aos quatro grupos de aprimoramentos para cada um dos oito arquétipos.[227]
Embora os aprimoramentos mudem radicalmente a forma como suas habilidades ativas funcionam, ainda há um foco principal no arquétipo base em si e não em todas as 64 classes.[226] – Steven Sharif
Não estamos realmente falando de 64 classes distintas, estamos falando de oito classes com 64 variantes... Não há tanta variação entre as 64 classes como vocês podem pensar. Não é como se você conhecesse 64 versões diferentes de... classes radicalmente diferentes.[226] – Jeffrey Bard
O balanceamento em Ashes of Creation é focado em grupo não é baseado em combate 1vs1.[226][228]
- Encontros de 1vs1 terão uma dinamica de pedra-papel-tesoura onde uma classe é superior a outra.[228]
Haverá encontros de 1vs1 onde uma classe será superior a outra; e essa será uma dinâmica de pedra-papel-tesoura. Queremos que hajam "counters" entre as diferentes classes. Em vez disso, será um equilíbrio focado no grupo, onde, enquanto houver diversidade de classes presentes, será um campo de jogo igualitário. Vai ser muito dependente de habilidade e estratégia.[228] – Steven Sharif
Alguns arquétipos secundários serão capazes de "encurtar a distância" que tem os seus counters.[229]
Alguns arquétipos são capazes de compensar a desvantagem de suas contrapartes. Se eu sou um arquétipo de Tanque e um Mage é meu counter, eu posso pegar um Mage secundário e diminuir a distância; e então chegar ligeiramente mais perto.[229] – Steven Sharif
Alpha-1 testing é inicialmente focado na funcionalidade base em vez de combate ou balanceamento.[40]
Localization/Translation
Ashes of Creation is aiming to be available in the following languages: English, French, German, Russian, Italian, Polish, Spanish, and Portuguese.[230][231][232][233]
- Previously it was stated that English, French, German, and Russian will be supported then Italian, Polish and Spanish be added later.[231][234]
- Other languages are being considered based on interest.[230][232][233]
- Interface do usuário localization tools are available in the chat window.[235]
The current plan is for Ashes of Creation to be available in the following languages: English, French, German, Russian, Italian, Polish, Spanish, and Portuguese. Although this may not be the final list of languages we support, we are still looking at which other languages into which the game may be translated.[230]
Servers won't be language locked.[232]
Platforms
Ashes of Creation will be released on the Windows PC platform.[236][237]
- Console support may be added at a later point.[236][237]
- Native Linux support may be possible in future.[236][238]
- Q: Will the upgrade to UE5 affect the supported systems? A lot of people are like linux question mark.[236]
- A: It's something that we'll evaluate in the future. I haven't ruled it out necessarily- would see how much work it would take to do that, but really like less than one percent of the player base is using Linux.[236] – Steven Sharif
Performance
Ashes of Creation was performing at 50-60 FPS on a 1080 Ti during early Alpha-1 testing.[243]
- Game settings allow players to fine tune performance to suit their preferences and hardware capabilities.[244][245][246]
- A "default player appearance" may be automatically applied during sieges or other large scale battles to improve client-side performance.[247][248][246]
- I think you guys will agree with me here that effects now are, as opposed to where they were in Alpha-1, we've taken into account what people's feedback were, although it was always the case we were going to address them; and we've implemented them in such a way where they're more conducive to large player battles.[244] – Steven Sharif
Unreal Engine 4
Unreal Engine 5 is the graphical engine for Ashes of Creation.[249][250] The game was originally developed in Unreal Engine 4.[251] Migrating to UE5 early is expected to save time the long run compared to upgrading closer to release, or post-release.[252][253]
- The recommended system specs for the game have not changed for Unreal Engine 5.[254][255]
- Unreal Engine 5 enables improved forms of locomotion/animation (motion warping), such as crouching, tilting and mantling.[256][257]
- What it provides in my opinion as person who enjoys PvP is it adds additional dynamics to what is possible from your opponent or from yourself. You know, if there is a ledge and jumping off that ledge is going to deal a lot of damage to me when I hit the ground and that puts me at a significant disadvantage, maybe I have an option to jump off the ledge at a point where I can mantle onto the side of a cliff or something. Now the give and take there is I won't be able to use my skills while I'm mantled. I won't be able to react easily, but I didn't have to take the fall damage per-se. Or if there's an obstruction and I'm going to take a significant reduction in speed so that I can crouch and make it past that, and now I have a effective line of sight has been obstructed as a result of that decision. I think it adds interesting elements to the battlefield and the key here is going to be making sure that it's not cumbersome- that it doesn't feel opposite of the flow of combat.[256] – Steven Sharif
- Lumen is going to greatly improve the visual fidelity and performance of the game with the reduced work and effort that's required by the art team, making Ashes of Creation much more beautiful than in UE4.[258] – Steven Sharif
- Nanite enables increased graphical fidelity in the game (without excessive overhead).[258][259][260][252]
- Nanite brings us really an entirely new approach to rendering and art workflows. Now we can render more actors with extremely high detail while eliminating the need to bake out normal map textures. For artists essentially what this means is that they can import high quality sculpted meshes directly into Unreal 5 without really having to reduce the poly count, making the workflow more efficient while simultaneously improving the quality of the art.[261] – Steven Sharif
- Features (such as World partitions and One file per actor) make it much easier for multiple developers to work together.[252]
- World partitions also enable Unreal Engine 5 maps to exceed the map size constraints of UE4 (~20 kilometers squared).[252]
- Q: How does this upgrade to UE5 affect the Ashes of Creation release timeline?[252]
- A: While UE4 is a great engine, there are certain focuses and technological endeavors that Epic is doing on UE5 that won't necessarily be supported by UE4; and we want to make sure given the lifespan of Ashes and how long we intend this MMO to last, that when we made this decision early on during the development process that we weren't going to exacerbate the amount of effort it would take to move over later in the lifespan or after launch.[252] – Steven Sharif
- Ashes of Creation features a custom network back-end with proprietary Unreal Engine networking code to enable mass combat in the open world: such as Pvp, Cercos de base, Cercos do castelo, Masmorras and Chefes mundiais.[262][263]
- The upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 was primarily a change to the front-end side of the game. The custom back-end networking code remains largely unaffected.[264]
- As of January 24, 2022 all teams have moved over to Unreal Engine 5.[265]
- The developers were able to transition to Unreal Engine 5.1.1 in February 2023 as part of milestone 4.[266][267][268]
- The upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.2 was completed. The developers expect to start upgrading to 5.3 around the end of 2023.[269][270]
- At some point the developers intend to stop updating Unreal Engine until post-launch. This decision will be based on careful consideration of potential delays and other risks.[271]
- Q: What is your stance in regards to focusing on delivering an MVP versus continuously upgrading your tools and engine to deliver a better product with new tech, even if that results in delays or additional years of development like UE 5.2, maybe 5.3 etc?
- A: Our technical teams, especially our network team, our ICS teams, our gameplay engineering teams, they convene and weigh when our next update should be on the engine side: What new technologies might bring benefit overall. My perspective on how we balance the need for integration of new technology versus the responsibility we have in a timely manner to provide testing sessions that get us closer to the launch date; that's a delicate balance. I would say generally our disposition is not to incorporate new technologies that yield some significant amount of delay on the development side. We very much take the perspective that we're capable of adjusting and/or integrating those new technologies post-milestone, post-launch if necessary. At some point we'll stop updating the Unreal Engine in development until launch. That point hasn't come yet, but of course the larger the project grows and on the more custom we make the engine for our back-end needs; and for whatever else merge conflicts can occur- those mergers can become big and painful; and the update process gets more painful. So to answer your question shortly, we have a team that evaluates what direction we need to take there; and at the top of my mind is always, let's not incorporate delays as a result of leveraging new technologies.[271] – Steven Sharif
Servers
The world will be the same on each server, but Nodes will develop differently. Different servers will have different narratives. Things that happen on one server may not happen on another.[272]
- Servers will be named after the champions of the great battles that led up to the fall of Verra.[273]
There will be a multitude of servers located throughout the various regions of the world.[274]
- Post launch, users will be able to select their server by the ping or the region that's notated next to the server.[274]
- Ashes of Creation Apocalypse server selection is driven by the party leader. Whatever region they have selected will apply to their friends and squad.[274]
We'll have a multitude of servers located throughout to the various regions of the world; and those servers will be good connection points for- and will be driven by- I mean there's two types of servers I'm sorry: For the alpha-1 arena those will be driven by the party leader right; and wherever whatever region they have selected if they invite friends to their squad or whatever, they'll be able to play on that region. With regards to live launch when the server's go live, you'll be selecting a server to play on; and that will be your character's home; and that server you'll be aware of where that server is located usually by either a ping or a region that's notated on next to the server.[274] – Steven Sharif
Regions
Ashes of Creation will launch with the following server regions:[275][276]
- North America (NA).[277][278][279]
- Europe (EU).[277][278][279]
- Asia/Pacific (SEA).[277][279][280]
- Oceania (OCE) (Australia).[277][279][280]
- The likelihood is very high for Sydney or Melbourne based OCE servers.[281]
- OCE servers may not be provisioned until Beta for Ashes of Creation (the MMO) and live launch for Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.[282]
At this stage we do not have numbers on how many different servers will exist for different regions. We've said in the past 8-10,000 concurrent users per server is what we'd like to aim for. Obviously, the number of servers that exist in a region are going to be dependent on the population that's playing.[283] – Steven Sharif
Other server regions will be considered based on interest.[277][276]
- South America is under consideration due to traffic from that region.[284]
Once we get closer to launch we'll update this information, which may include additional regions.[277]
Certain regions will have "harmonized" subscription prices that better reflect their local economies. These regions will be segregated from other regions.[162]
- Players will be able to make characters on any server they wish. There will be no region locking (outside of harmonized regions).[163]
Folks have always been able to make characters on any server they wish. We are not region locking anyone.[163] – Margaret Krohn
Server population
Population limits will be enforced on each server.[285]
- Around 8-10k concurrent users per server is projected.[286][283][287][288]
- Initially there will be a limited number of registered accounts (approximately 15,000) per server to help mitigate login queues.[289]
- There may be queues to get into high population servers, but the aim is to avoid excessively long queues.[291]
- The developers intend to carefully manage server populations via the use of character creation throttles to avoid the need to merge servers.[290][22]
- The developers may occasionally release stats relating to server populations and archetype/class makeup, but there isn't going to be an official page that surfaces this information.[292]
Server history
The history of each server will be tracked and visible to players in a node's library.[294][295]
- This design may have changed.[296]
- We're gonna keep track of the history of the world so that we can tell people the story up to the current day. A player who's brand new, who's come in at the six-month mark can take a look at each server, what each server has done, how each server has tackled the storyline; and they can decide for themselves what community they want to join; what version of the world that they want to take part in.[295] – Jeffrey Bard
- Scribes may be able to collect and record information about the events of the world as they see it from their point of view.[297]
Server instancing
There won't be server channels (sharding) on a server.[298][299]
Server types
- There won't be separate PvE and Pvp servers but some servers may be more PvP focused than others.[300][301][302]
- There won't be separate roleplaying (RP) servers.[303]
Server transfers
Server transfers, outside of server merges, will not be possible initially.[304][305]
Publishers
Estúdios intrépidos will self-publish Ashes of Creation in the NA (North American), OCE (Oceanic) and SEA (Southeast Asia) regions.[306][307]
- Intrepid Studios will be opening offices in Amsterdam to help support their publishing operations in the EU (European Union) and CIS regions.[308]
We have learned a lot from our partnership with MY.GAMES, and we wish our friends there all the best as we have mutually decided to part ways. Looking ahead, we’re excited to announce that Intrepid Studios will be opening European offices in Amsterdam to help support our publishing operations in the EU/CIS regions. We have recently posted open positions for our new EU offices, and look forward to hiring the best and brightest in true Intrepid fashion.[308] – Steven Sharif
The Ashes of Creation MMORPG will not be published on the Steam platform.[309]
- Ashes of Creation Apocalypse battle royale early access testing ended on March 10, 2020. It was previously available for download on the official website and on Steam.[310]

Esports
Os eSports não são o foco principal, mas se o jogo for convincente, competitivo e divertido, o jogo naturalmente se moverá nessa direção.[311]
Se tornarmos o jogo convincente, competitivo e divertido, que naturalmente se moverá nessa direção; e então encontraremos a capacidade de apoiá-lo depois.[311] – Steven Sharif
Voice acting
- NPCs will have voice acted audio greetings.[312][313]
- Certain bosses and creatures will have voice lines along with other audio cues.[314]
- Narrated quest lines are not currently planned for launch.[312] It has been stated that adding voice acting into the game at a later point will be a fairly cosmetic change.[312]
- Is it difficult to add voice acting later? No, it's definitely not... It's a fairly cosmetic change.[312] – Steven Sharif
- I think that some of the technology and the advancements that we've seen, not just within the gaming industry but a broad scope of AI influence, is something that we are keeping a close eye on and we have some plans to investigate and inspect a few of the designs and approaches that we've taken, particularly as it relates I think to this question and AI voiceover potential to influence our narrative loops and how players interact with general AI dialogue; and there is an opportunity there, but it's not one that we have fully explored yet, although it is on the docket for the first part of next year for us to analyze what potential exists from a leveraging standpoint for this new tech; and I would say, stay tuned next year as we give updates. You'll likely see some things, perhaps even in Alpha-2 that could relate to that, we'll see. But, it is something we are aware of and we are keeping close tabs on how to integrate and leverage as part of Ashes.[315] – Steven Sharif
Security systems
Sistemas de segurança serão implementados para combater hacks, abusos, bots, venda de ouro, duplicação de itens, e outras coisas que afetem a economia à partir do Alpha-0.[317][318][319]
- Esses sistemas coletarão dados de usuário e sinalizarão atividades anormais para serem inspecionadas. Isso, junto com a função de reportar jogadores, vai criar um "mapa de atividade" que evidencia situações anormais.[319]
- Jogadores pegos usando hacks serão banidos.[319]
Addons/mods
Addons, DPS meters, and threat meters will not be supported.[320][321][322][323]
- 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.[322] – Steven Sharif
- The developers do not want addons/mods to be necessary to experience the game.[324]
- The developers believe that DPS meters (parsers) can cause toxicity and other negative behaviors.[321][325][323]
- 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.[321] – Steven Sharif
- Threat meters will also not be present in the game. There will instead be visual in-game cues to indicate threat.[321]
- 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.[321] – 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.[326]
- The design of the game API is still under consideration.[327]

Franchise
Ashes of Creation will be a franchise.[410]
- Ashes of Creation MMORPG.[410]
- Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.[411]
- Ashes of Creation board game.[412][413]
- Ashes of Creation TTRPG (Table Top Role Playing Game) is a possibility post-launch.[412]
- Q: Given that you said that these story arcs are a module that get placed into the world, do you plan to sell or release your Ashes of Creation themed TTRPG module for other DMs to use?
- A: There's a lot of things I want to do when we launch Ashes. One is, of course, a module that's set in the world of Ashes of Creation. Yes, I would love to release a throwback to the original campaign. It's very different from where Ashes of Creation is today. But I think it's- there's a lot of overlap between gamers who enjoy tabletop RPGs and MMOs and one of the benefits of telling a story through different venues, mediums and systems is that you reach a broader audience, because not all of us like the same things; and I think the story of Ashes is a rich one. And because of that, telling it through multiple mediums is definitely a desire. From a board game perspective, I'm a huge board game nerd. I love playing board games. A lot of us at the office do. I would love to tell the story of Ashes through a board game as well. I would love to tell the story of Ashes through a RTS. I would love to tell it through film and television. There's a lot of ways I think that the story can be told. It doesn't all have to be focused around the return to Verra. There's a lot of different opportunities across the many thousands of years of timeline that Verra's existed that we can tell the story and even other aspects of that.[412] – Steven Sharif
