Ashes of Creation Apocalypse classes
Six classes will be present in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges and Ashes of Creation Apocalypse horde mode.[1]
- Warrior classes
- DPS classes
- Support classes
These classes relate to the trinity of classes: Tank, DPS and Support.[1][2]
- Skills/abilities are not tied specifically to weapons in castle siege mode.[3]
- It was previously stated that weapon skills are applied to augment a class' base skills.[4]
- Base class skills may be able to be selected from a host of available skills for that class based on a player's progression within that season.[4][5]
We had a little bit of an idea that we're going to explore with regards to each of the classes having a range of skills and abilities that players can customize that skill kit based on their progression within a season, let's say; and that progression can be gained from any of the modes and it would grant you the ability to customize that skill kit for the before the siege mode or the horde mode. But that's something that might come at a later date.[5] – Steven Sharif
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse classes only apply to Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges and Ashes of Creation Apocalypse horde mode.[6]
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges estavam no Ashes of Creation Apocalypse modo de teste, com o objectivo de testar mecânicas de cercos a castelo.[10]
- Se passa dentro e à volta de grandes castelos destrutíveis .[11]
- Espera-se que os jogos tenham uma duração de trinta a trinta e cinco minutos. Esta duração pode ser modificada por pontos de controlo capturados durante o jogo.[12]
- Haverá 200 jogadores num jogo (100 v 100).[13][10]
- Convide até 20 companheiros para uma partida.[11]
- Class kits entram em jogo durante os testes de Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges.[4]
- A capacidade de acolher uma sessão e desafiar um adversário ou guild pode estar presente após o lançamento do castle siege mode.[14]
O modo Castle Siege é outro exemplo de uma fatia jogável do MMORPG que o Apocalypse está a fornecer para testes iniciais. Embora seja uma experiência de escala um pouco menor do que a que terá no MMO, o fluxo geral de tomar e defender um castelo continuará a ser semelhante. Há alguns sistemas adicionais que verá no produto final, como a influência dos Nodos sobre os lugares defensivos disponíveis, a construção e utilização de armas de cerco personalizadas, e a invocação de monstros de cerco. Estas são todas as coisas que acrescentaremos a este modo aquando da nossa libertação das Ashes of Creation.[12] – Margaret Krohn
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle siege maps
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges take place on a 1km2 (one square kilometer) map.[12]
Five castles are intended for the Ashes of Creation MMORPG. It's likely that eventually there will also be five castle maps on Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges.[16]
- Initially two castle maps are planned for Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges.[17][12]
On January 11, 2019, we showcased our sneak peek of two siege map designs coming to Ashes of Creation Apocalypse soon - Castle Korgan previously owned by the Aelan humans and Castle Milnar constructed by the great Dünzenkell dwarves. These great castles of Verra were the cornerstone of defense for the Empires that owned them. Once home to legendary battles that turned the tides of power and influence on Verra. Now abandoned by the great powers that have fled Verra through the Divine Gateways, these great pillars of civilization are battlefields in the Apocalypse.[12] – Margaret Krohn
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle siege mechanics
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges will be objective-based.[10]
A player elects to be either an attacker or defender.[16][12]
- The matchmaker will attempt to assign a player their selected side (referred to as role in the article) but it may allocate another side so as to shorten queue times.[12]
- Once in the match, a player's side will not change.[12]
Players select one of the six classes prior to battle.[16]
- Players can see the numbers of players in their raid who have selected each class.[20]
- Players will have a limited amount of time to lock in their class choice. If they miss the window, the least selected class choice will be automatically chosen for them.[12]
- There is no limit to the number of a specific class that may be on a team, however the developers note that composition will be important from a strategic perspective.[12]
- Classes cannot be swapped during a match, but this may change based on testing.[12]
There will be a timeframe for preparation where attackers and defenders take positions and prepare weaponry.[16]
- Siege weaponry will include ballistas, trebuchets, battering rams and potentially traps and "powder keg" type weapons.[16]
When you join into the castle siege in Apocalypse you're going to be able to select one of six classes. Right and upon selecting those classes then you're going to be placed on your starting side, whether it be the attacker or defenders; and then you're going to be able to start preparations. It's gonna be a little bit of a loading time where you have selected those classes. You're going to take positions perhaps and whatnot; and there are siege weaponry that's going to be present there as you see here some ballistas, some trebuchets, a battering ram and maybe some traps and some powder keg stuff available to destroy some things.[16] – Steven Sharif
Attacking team
In the first phase of battle the attackers attempt to penetrate the walls and gates to gain access to the inside of the castle.[16][21]
- Siege weapons available to the attacking side include Trebuchets and Battering Rams.[12]
There will be a variety of siege weapons available to the Attacking side including Trebuchets and Battering Rams. Trebuchets’ range will be long enough to reach the enemy ballistas from their initial placement points. These placement points will be out of player character’s weapon range from the castle walls, but within ballista range, and scattered on the battlefield.[12] – Margaret Krohn
Once inside the castle, the attackers need to hold objectives.[16]
- There are objectives within the castle, such as killing guard captains.[10]
- Attackers must destroy key strategic objectives to swing the battle in their favor.[11]
- Defenders must protect key strategic objectives to maintain advantage.[11]
- Holding capture points increase or decrease the duration of the map, change the opposing side's respawn times and give buffs to the side that holds them.[16][10]
- Players can also respawn on capture points that they hold.[16]
The ultimate objective of the attackers is to reach the center keep of the castle to channel on the final relic that's present in order to achieve victory.[21]
Defending team
The defenders are attempting to hold out as long as possible, but they can also rush the field to the enemy encampment or headquarters to attempt to damage their ability to siege.[21]
- Attempt to take out attacker's siege weapons.[21]
- Attempt to capture attacker's control points to increase their spawn time and decrease the total match time.[21]
If a Defender captures an Attacker’s Control Point, the total match time decreases, the Attacker Teams’ respawn time increases, and it also provides a temporary morale buff to the entire Defender’s side. Defenders will also be able to teleport to any Control Points that have been taken.[12] – Margaret Krohn
Siege weapons available to the defending side include Ballistas and Traps.[12]
Ballistas will have fixed positions on castle towers. Traps will be placeable items that the Defending Team can use to damage and crowd control their enemies. Note that these items are destructible by the Attacking Team.[12] – Margaret Krohn
Respawning
Players have infinite lives in castle siege mode.[12]
- Upon death, players join a respawn queue shared with their teammates.[12]
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse siege equipment
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse siege equipment includes ballistas, trebuchets, battering rams and potentially traps and "powder keg" type weapons.[16]
- Siege weapons available to the attacking side include Trebuchets and Battering Rams.[12]
- Siege weapons available to the defending side include Ballistas and Traps.[12]
- Siege weapons are deployable and piloted by players.[11]
With regards to alpha one phase one however in the castle siege system... what will happen is static siege equipment that's placed in the map for the attackers to utilize that will present at focal points of PvP in the match where defenders will know where to target a specific area on the field in order to attack.
