Player to player trading

Alpha-2 player trading UI.

Alpha-2 trade request UI.

There is player-to-player trading in Ashes of Creation.

Q: Will Ashes of Creation have player-to-player trading? Will there be anything stopping me from gifting a friend that's fresh to the game a bunch of in-game money to help them get on their feet quickly?

A: There won't be anything to stop you from doing that. – Steven Sharif

• Player to player trading, interacting with vendors or NPCs, and the ability to access storage is disabled for corrupted players.

• Security systems are in place to combat RMT and other forms of cheating.

The nature of player to player trading already introduces that in an open economy game... that is why we have measures to attempt and heat flag suspicious transactions, active gms and other honeypot systems/agents that will be active in discovering those types of cheaters. – Steven Sharif

Mailing items

• Raw gatherables and materials are not able to be mailed by players.
  • Purchases of anything other than materials and gatherables from integrated auction houses will be mailed to the purchaser.
• Social messages sent via mail will be received instantly.
• It hasn't been decided whether crafted items such as gear will be able to be sent via mail.

From an item standpoint obviously we can't allow mailing to include any type of resource material or raw gatherable because those are central to the gameplay and transiting through the caravan system and economic regions. But it may be possible to send completed crafted items like gear, equipment, stuff like that. But it's something we're still discussing. – Steven Sharif

Quiósques de jogador

Renderização 3D de um quiosque de jogador no Alpha-1, por Adam Will.

Arte conceito de quiosques de jogador em um empório.

Quiosques de jogadores (também chamados de vendas e tendas de aluguel) são áreas locáveis próximas à edificação única em uma base mercantil ou em Mercados (a edificação "construível" que prefeitos podem instalar em qualquer base

[[{{{2}}}]] (estágio 4) ou maior.

Todas as bases tem a habilidade de criar quiosques de jogadores. Se você não é de uma base mercantil e não tem um empório - sua edificação única - então você pode construir um o que eu chamaria de um mercado; e esse mercado virá com um certo número de serviços e um certo número de quiosques. Se bem me lembro, uma base mercantil tem a habilidade de construir uma casa de leilão, que oferece a possibilidade de listar e vender itens, e esse tipo de base também inclui mais espaço para quiosques de jogadores. – Steven Sharif

Alugar um quiosque de jogador permite que os jogadores vendam itens e disponibilizem serviços de reparo e encantamento, mesmo que não estejam online.

• Quiosques de jogadores poderão ser utilizados por um período de tempo, dependendo do preço pago ao alugar o quiosque.
• Um atendente será responsável pelo quiosque.
  • Esse PNJ poderá ter a "imagem" do jogador.
• Quadros de mensagens que listam os itens disponíveis em quiosques de jogadores podem ser acessados de qualquer lugar na região.
  • Eles oferecem a localização do quiosque para que os jogadores possam viajar até lá e comprar os itens.
• Itens de quiosques também serão listados em casas de leilão.
• Os jogadores poderão colocar os itens que precisam de reparo e também comprar os materiais necessários para o mesmo se o quiosque estiver vendendo.
• Os jogadores não podem ser atacados enquanto ocupam um quiosque.
• Quiosques de jogadores podem ser alugados por cidadãos de uma base.

Quiosques de jogadores são diferentes de lojas pessoais e casas de leilão.

Lojas de jogadores

Confectioner’s Delight pre-order pack cosmetic building skin for the cooking profession.

Certificates to place Lojas pessoais (player-owned shops) may be purchased by citizens and non-citizens from Bases Mercantis.

• These certificates allow the placement of a personal shop near the unique building in an economic node or on a freehold.
  • Once the economic node has reached metropolis stage, personal shops may be placed anywhere in the world.

• When a character creates a personal shop, a billboard pops up above them with a custom advertisement message for items or services available on that character's person. Purchasers can interact directly with the character to purchase these items or services.

A player shop is where you have a certificate to essentially create a shop with your character and a little billboard will pop up above you as you sit down for that shop and advertise a custom message that you want say that has to sell things and/or services that are on your person. So players can then come up to you and they can interact with you. So you reside yourself to that shop. – Steven Sharif

Casas de leilão

PNJ Leiloeiro no Alpha-1.

Arte conceito de Ashes of Creation.

Casas de Leilão acompanham a edificação única de base em Bases Mercantis.

• Mercados em bases mercantis em estágio de Vilarejo possuem casas de leilão, que permitem a listagem de recursos primários e bens processados.
• Câmbios em Municípios possuem casas de leilão expandidas, que permitem a listagem de qualquer bem/item.
• Bases Mercantis que chegaram ao estágio de Metrópole liberam o superpoder Mercado Conectado.
  • Até duas Metrópoles Mercantis podem ser conectadas dessa maneira.
  • Metrópoles liberam preços de venda globais para casas de leilão ao redor de Verra.
  • Itens listados em uma base conectada podem receber lances de qualquer outra base conectada.
  • Mercado Conectado também conecta uma metrópole mercantil a suas bases mercantis vassalas.

Se uma Base é Vassala de uma Base Mercantil, um Leiloeiro aparece na Base Vassala. Esse Leiloeiro permite que os jogadores listem materiais processados na Casa de Leilão da Base Dominante, mas os jogadores não podem dar lances em itens através desse Leiloeiro. Esses recursos e materiais processados devem ser armazenados em uma Base Mercantil para serem listados na Casa de Leilão daquela base. Para dar um lance, os jogadores ainda precisam viajar até a Casa de Leilão da Base Dominante.

Casas de leilão permitem que um jogador liste itens na Base Mercantil onde se encontra a casa de leilão.

• Uma taxa de listagem será cobrada para colocar itens na casa de leilão.
• Bases Vassalas da Base com a Casa de Leilão poderão ver itens listados naquela Casa de Leilão, independente do tipo de base da base vassala.
  • Isso será feito através de um emissário leiloeiro naquela base.
  • Itens não podem ser listados em bases vassalas não-mercantis.
• Itens listados são visíveis através dos quadros de mensagens.
• Um centro de leilão integrado permitirá que jogadores comprem itens diretamente da casa de leilão.
• Pode haver uma diferença de [Taxation|impostos]] entre casas de leilão e outros negócios de jogadores.
• Jogadores precisarão viajar até a casa de leilão onde listaram recursos ou materiais processados para recuperá-los.
  • Jogadores que desejem mover esses itens para outro lugar deverão utilizar o sistema de caravanas ou outro método de transporte.

Sistema de garantia

Esta tradução pode estar desatualizada

Um sistem de garantia está sendo planejado para impedir abusos no sistema de Fabricação.

Teremos uma interface...você coloca os recursos, ou eles colocam. Vai ser como um sistema de garantia e quando (o trabalho) estiver pronto você recebe o item e eles recebem o dinheiro.

Banking

Nodes advance to the first stage quickly. This enables NPC services such as vending or banking items.

• Banking between characters will likely be restricted to furniture and completed items.
• A warehouse ability may enable a player to transfer non-material goods between alternate characters. This excludes resources, materials or anything that relies on the caravan system.

Account management

Ashes of Creation web site design preview (WIP).

The account management page is used to assign or reassign cosmetics to characters within an account.

• Cosmetics can be reassigned to other characters (alts), but can only be active on one character at a time.

• There will likely be a cooldown for reassigning cosmetics between characters.

Storage

Storage chest in an Alpha-2 freehold.

Storage points exist at warehouses within nodes and in chests (storage containers) that can be placed in freeholds and static in-node housing.

• Sheds are present on empty freehold plots to provide basic storage for materials needed to construct freehold buildings.

Player housing storage

Alpha-1 chest concept art.

Alpha-1 chest 3D renders.

Chests are a type of furniture that provides localized storage within a specific house.

• Players must obtain and place storage containers in their player-owned housing.
• Different grades of storage containers have different inventory capacities.
  • There are restrictions on the grades of storage containers available in different types of houses.
• Access permissions can be set to allow others to access a player's personal storage devices.
  • Personal storage chests may be set to permit access by family or guild members.
  • Transfer of resources and materials to alts will only be possible via player housing storage, as this is local to the specific house.
• Players are prohibited from moving goods out of depositories within a node following a siege declaration against that node.
  • Gatherables and crafting materials that were stored in in-node housing and apartment storage chests become lootable upon a successful siege against the parent node. These do not become lootable if the node survives the siege- even if the housing buildings are destroyed or damaged during the siege.
• Corrupt players are not able to utilize storage systems.

Algumas das informações a seguir não foram confirmadas recentemente pelos desenvolvedores e podem não estar no roteiro de desenvolvimento atual.

• Personal caravans may be launched from any point of storage (including chests).

Gear binding

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.

• Very little gear will be account bound or soulbound in Ashes of Creation.
  • The game economy is based around crafting and degradation of items.
• Gear is obtained via crafting, gathering and processing along with raid and dungeon bosses.

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. – Steven Sharif

Security systems

Esta tradução pode estar desatualizada

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.

• 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.

• Jogadores pegos usando hacks serão banidos.

Trade agreements

Prefeitos can enter into trade agreements with other nodes to facilitate trade between the nodes.

• There are a limited number of trade agreements that a node can have.

• Mayoral caravans may only be initiated between nodes with trade agreements or alliances.

• Trade agreements affect reputation between the nodes.

Algumas das informações a seguir não foram confirmadas recentemente pelos desenvolvedores e podem não estar no roteiro de desenvolvimento atual.

Mercenary guilds will be a viable way forward for different organizations. I think there will be a lot of business to be had with that; and one of the systems in our trade agreements is creating an escrow for those particular type of arrangements that we're looking into. – Steven Sharif

Trade routes

Mayoral caravan launched by a mayor to establish a trade route with another node.

For example: this node over here might have access to cotton as a resource and when that node processes that cotton it might be some very nice type of linen that only that node, or very rarely nodes would have access to. So when you initiate a trade route, you're bringing its supplies that the mayor has requested because they're trying to build, let's say a specific type of service building, or they're trying to unlock a blueprint that they have access to now to build up their node. – Steven Sharif

Trade routes in Ashes of Creation refer to.

• Roads for the transit goods via the caravan system.

  You might have a mountain pass and during winter that mountain pass is always closed and so the trade routes on land change with caravans and that's something that can not only exist on a cyclical level but also dynamically based on player activity.

• Economic relationships between nodes established by Prefeitos or node citizens.
  • Agreements are established to trade commodities that are unique to particular nodes or node types via NPC-driven caravans.

From a diplomatic standpoint the ability for the mayor or citizens to set up NPC routed trade routes between nodes as a trade agreement or as a diplomatic process. – Steven Sharif

• An aspect of naval content.

Caravanas

Esta tradução pode estar desatualizada

Renderização 3D de uma caravana no Alpha-1, by Adam Will.

Caravanas facilitam a transferência de bens para jogadores que querem gerar lucros.

Mayoral Caravan system - Work in Progress.

O sistema de caravana é um sistema de PvP em mundo aberto que gira em torno de riscos e oportunidades. Caravanas facilitam o transporte de bens para jogadores que desejam gerar lucros.

• Caravanas são usadas para a transferência de bens pessoais e missões, assim como suprimentos para castelos e bases.

• Caravanas só podem partir ou ter como destino bases em estágio de vilarejo ou maior.

• Caravanas podem transportar bens para mais de um jogador.

• O sistema de sinalização de Pvp não se aplica a caravanas.

Caravan types

Tier 5 personal caravan on route from Winstead to Miraleth in Alpha-2. 3D model by Hal Anderson.

There are different types of Caravanas in Ashes of Creation.

• Personal caravans.
• Mayoral caravans.
• System driven caravans.

Trade ships

Alpha-2 raft caravan in the Riverlands biome.

Caravans are capable of transitioning from land to raft caravans. So if you start out as a land-based Caravan and you move to the coast and you want to move into the water there's gonna be a little transition period there; it's gonna be a little construction site: You're not gonna have to do anything it's just gonna be a timer right so that you can't quickly move between land and water. It's gonna be probably in the matter of a minute to two minutes. There's a little bit of vulnerability in that regard. – Steven Sharif

Raft caravans (also referred to as Naval caravans) allow the transportation of cargo over the water.

• Unlike merchant ships, raft caravans are capable of transitioning to and from land caravans at the point of intersection of land and water.
  • Raft caravans may only be used in rivers.
• Currently the stats of the raft are informed by the components of the caravan. This may be changed based on testing.
• By default, raft caravans have a racial appearance. Players will be able to apply caravan skins to change this appearance.
