Freehold destructibility
Propriedades may be attacked by any player for a period of two hours following a successful siege against its parent node.[1][2][3][4] Freeholds can also be lost by foreclosure for not paying property taxes or other fees.[5]
- Players and their allies may defend their freehold for this period of time.[4]
- Structures and guards may be obtained to defend freeholds during this period.[4]
- When it comes to losing Freeholds like this, one person’s loss is another person’s gain. While there aren’t enough Freeholds in the world for everyone to have one at the same time, this cycle of players losing Freeholds creates opportunities for other players to acquire one.[5]
After the two hour period of open combat following a successful node siege, any remaining freeholds will exist under a grace period for roughly 1 week where another node may take over the zone of influence of the freehold.[2][3]
- The freehold owner will be required to undertake a quest process to have their freehold adopted by a new node if one exists.[2]
- At the end of the grace period, if the freehold does not reside within the ZOI of a
[[{{{2}}}]] (estágio 3) node or above, it will be destroyed.[5][3][2][6]
- If a siege is successful, then the Node is brought down to Level 0, and anyone who was a citizen of that Node is no longer a citizen. Freeholds within the Zone of Influence are subject to a period of vulnerability. These Freeholds can be destroyed by other players during a period of roughly 2 hours after a successful siege. Destroyed Freeholds are subject to material loss, and blueprints for them are mailed to the player to utilize for future placement in order to allow the player to keep their Freehold’s layout and structure. Once the vulnerability period is complete, any remaining Freeholds will exist under a grace period for roughly 1 week where another Node may take over the Zone of Influence of the Freehold.[3] – Margaret Krohn
- Q: How many times a year do you suspect that most players will be moving residence based on nodes being eliminated from sieges?
- A: There are a lot of variables that influence that answer. I'm not sure I can give an average, but what I would say is that depending on the political dynamic of a server: if a server tends to have more combat and/or sieges against nodes, that is going to increase the amount of opportunity for freeholds to be removed from the world and then replaced. I'm not sure I have an average. what I will say is that it is very important to remember that Ashes is not a PvP game and it is not a PvE game. It is a PvX game and that has a very specific meaning. It means that as these systems are developed as they are designed and they are integrated with each other: they are done so from a competitive viewpoint and how that system relates to both PvE and PvP. Freeholds are one of those systems very much so and it's because of the cyclical nature that we're attempting to achieve with the development of nodes and the destruction of nodes, the world is a rapidly and dynamically changing place really. So it's intended to be something that is constantly recycling and is leaking out different types of content and new content that revitalizes the player interest and stimulates new points of conflict or cooperation.[8] – Steven Sharif
Cercos de base
Cercos de base permitem que os jogadores destruam bases.[3] 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.[10]
Cercear uma base não será uma tarefa fácil para os atacantes. Cidades e metrópoles terão uma vantagem defensiva considerável.[10]
Se você possui um lar em uma base e não quer que ele seja destruído, terá que defender a cidade![11] – Steven Sharif
Bases podem cair de nível de acordo com a Atrofia de Base.[3]
Housing designs
Designs de Residência de Jogadores e decorações são retidas e podem ser colocadas novamente no futuro caso a residência seja destruída durante um cerco de base.[12][13]
- Diagramas são enviados por correio aos jogadores para uso futuro.[3]
- Propriedades destruídas estão sujeitas à perda de bens.[3]
- Certificados mantém grandes marcos (como Fornalhas e Solares, por exemplo).[12][13]
- Uma possível ideia de design é que itens como mobília sejam encaixotados e acessíveis dentro da nova residência.[14]
Housing foreclosures
Housing foreclosures result from failing to pay property taxes or other fees.[15][5]
- Non-payment of taxes will put the housing into a default status. The player will have a period of time to settle the debt before the housing is foreclosed.[15]
- The developers are considering allowing pre-payment of housing taxes and/or allowing auto deduction of tax from a designated location, such as their personal inventory or warehouse.[16]
- Materials and resources (such as livestock) that were stored on foreclosed freeholds will be included in the auction for the deed to that freehold. Stored and placed props, such as furniture will be returned to the previous owner.[5]
- If you don’t pay taxes and other fines, your Freehold property will be foreclosed. When a Freehold is foreclosed on, stored and placed props like furniture are returned to the previous owner. Materials that were stored on a Freehold will be included in the auction for the Deed to that Freehold.[5]
- Non-payment of the game subscription will also result in loss of player housing.[17]
