Siege participation
Non-registered combatants are not permitted on the siege field in castle or node sieges.[1]
- Alpha-1 castle sieges are located in a separate zone that is accessible via a NPC teleporter.[2][3][4][5]
- Cercos do castelo (in the final game) may or may not be instanced.[4][6]
- Players could potentially intercept stragglers with the guild war or flagging system en route to the siege field.[8]
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.[9]
Sieges
Sieges in Ashes of Creation refer to:
- Cercos do castelo, where guilds battle to occupy one of five Castelos da guilda.[11]
- Cercos de base, which are open world battles fought to destroy nodes.[12]
The risk versus reward relationship, when, say for instance, you've dedicated time towards building a node and other players have dedicated that equivalent time towards sieging the node, there's going to be a pitched battle between those players... They spend that time doing this because they care passionately about having access to that content.[13] – Steven Sharif
Server prime-time
Objective-based PvP events such as node sieges, castle sieges, guild wars, and node wars will occur within a prime-time window somewhere between 3PM and 9PM server time. This is subject to testing.[14][15][16]
- Guild wars and node wars can be declared at any time, but the objectives will only spawn during the prime-time window.[17]
Siege alliances
When a siege begins, temporary alliances are formed among attackers and defenders.[18]
- For node sieges, citizens of the node or provincial nodes being attacked are automatically registered as defenders.[19]
- There are many reasons to participate as an ally in the attack or defence of other nodes.[20]
- Titles.
- Items.
- Materials.
- Money.
- Social bonds.
Many incentives exist that can benefit your node and yourself personally by participating in the attack or defense of cities. These range from titles, to items, to materials, to money. Additionally, aiding others may help you strengthen bonds when your assets are threatened.[20] – Steven Sharif
Spectating battles
The ability to spectate battles, such as Sieges is being looked into.[21]
One of the issues I did have about that system in Lineage 2, was like certain people just have alt accounts logged in and tuned into that thing; and like they would then utilize that information. Which, I guess is a means of information gathering. But it's maybe too easy of one. So we're - like i said - we're just looking into that. I haven't decided on that yet.[21] – Steven Sharif
