Ármodell
Az Ashes of Creation MMORPG egy feliratkozás alapú játék.[2]
- A havi feliratkozás díja USD $14.99.[3][4]
- Bizonyos régiókban az ottani gazdasághoz "igazított" ára lesz a feliratkozásnak.[5]
- Életre szóló előfizetést élveznek a crowdfunding-ban résztvevő, Braver of worlds vagy annál magasabb szintű támogatók.[6][7]
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.[9] – Steven Sharif
Az Ashes of Creation Apocalypse egy ingyenesen játszható játék.[10][11]
There is no P2W in Apocalypse or the MMORPG![11]
Pay to win
Az Ashes of Creation nem lesz pay to win.[14]
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.[14]
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.[9] – Steven Sharif
Az extra Készlet helyek, RNG loot box-ok és az XP szerzést növelők pay-to-win-nek számítanak.[15][16][17]
- Több fiók használata, vagy multi-boxolás külön számítógépeken jelenleg nem számít pay-to-win-nek.[15][18][19]
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.[16] – Steven Sharif
- Q: Will there be RNG boxes?
- A: I dislike RNG. Archeage made me loath rng monetization gimmicks.[17] – Steven Sharif
Kinézeti bolt (mikrótranzakciók)
A kinézeti boltban vásárolhat a játékos kinézeti tárgyakat az Ashes of Creation-ben való használathoz.[21] A boltban lesznek korlátolt ideig elérhető, korlátolt számú tárgyak a játék fejlesztésének fenntartása érdekében.[22]
- Hasznosítható tárgyakat (mind minőségi, mind mennyiségi értelemben) játékmenet során megszerezhetőek.[22]
- A kizeti bolt választékából semmi nem lesz pay to win.[23]
I want to incentivize purchase in the cosmetic shop for sustainability of what expansions we have intended, since we are not a box cost. I want to incentivize purchase by offering limited items: limited time, limited quantity, so you have confidence that when you purchase them, they won't be offered later on in some other way.[22] – Steven Sharif
Petek, mount-ok, jelmezek, páncélzatok, épületek, kiegészítők és kinézetek vásárolhatóak a kinézeti boltban.[24]
- A kinézetek olyan tárgyak amik nem adnak semmiféle előnyt.[25]
- Kinézeteket csak olyan tárgyakra lehet felszerelni, amik már meglettek a játékon belül szerezve, például barkácsolva.[26]
- A boltban megjelenő lény-kinézetek különböző változatai esetlegesen megtalálhatóak lesznek a vadonban.[27]
- A fűszerszöveg tárgyak és lények hátterével és történetével foglalkozik, Verra világában.[25]
- Jelmezek nem tartalmazzák az ábrázolt fegyvereket.[28]
We plan to include a shop for micro transactions. The shop will only include cosmetic items. Nothing in our shop will ever be pay to win as we believe this practice greatly hurts the MMORPG genre.[23]
A kinézeti boltban megvásárolt tárgyak nem lesznek cserélhetőek.[29] Ezeket ajándékozni se lehet.[30]
I don't want cosmetic items that can be purchased from the market to be transferable... because it is in a way a transfer of money for potentially something in-game.[30] – Steven Sharif
Skins
Accessories/armor, Buildings, Lakókocsik, Tartók, Pets, and Hajók sold in the cosmetic store are skins.[24][33][34]
- Skins are cosmetic items that do not grant the user any benefit.[25]
- Skins are only be able to be applied to things that have already been earned, crafted or found within Ashes of Creation.[35][26]
- Owning cosmetics does not guarantee the acquisition of the item the cosmetic can be used on. Players must still achieve the corresponding item/building.[35] – Steven Sharif
- Caravan skins change the appearance of an in-game mount and in-game caravan that are hooked up to each other.[40][41]
- The best skins will be in-game achievable.[42]
- The best skins will be in-game achievable (obviously “best” is subjective, so I’d say the most ornate and detailed/unique).[42] – Steven Sharif
NFTs
Intrepid Studios does not plan to introduce NFTs or any other type of play-to-earn mechanics into Ashes of Creation.[43][44]
- To be really clear, we have no plans to have NFTs in Ashes of Creation, or any other "play-to-earn" mechanics.[43]
Doboz ár
Az Ashes of Creation-nek nem lesz előre fizetendő doboz-ára.[45]
Kiadók
Az Intrepid Studios saját maga adja ki az Ashes of Creation-t az Észak Amerikai (NA), Oceániai (OCE) és a Délkelet Ázsiai (SEA) régiókban.[46][47]
- Az Intrepid Studios irodákat fog nyitni Amsterdam-ban, hogy elősegítse az Európai (EU) és a CIS régiókban a kiadást.[48]
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.[48] – Steven Sharif
Az Ashes of Creation MMORPG nem fog megjelenni a Steam platformon.[49]
- Az Ashes of Creation Apocalypse battle royale korai hozzáférés teszt véget ért 2020 Március 10.-én. Ez előtt letölthető volt a hivatalos weboldalon és Steam-en.[50]
Testing phases
Ashes of Creation testing phases.
- Alpha-0 was the invite-only "raffle" friends and family alpha test phase.[52][53]
- Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta-1, and Beta-2 were available for purchase during the Kickstarter and Nyári crowdfunding campaigns.[51]
- Alpha-1 was available in the Intrepid pre-order pack and the Adventurer pre-order pack.[54][55]
- Alpha-2 and Beta-2 were available during PAX West 2017.[56][57]
- Alpha-2, Beta-1, and Beta-2 were available in Pre-order packs on the cosmetic store.[58][20]
- Alpha-2, Beta-1, and Beta-2 packs that were purchased through Mail.ru can gain access to the testing periods they were entitled to by registering an account with Intrepid Studios and submitting a support ticket.[59]
Ashes of Creation's core game systems are expected to be in place at the start of Alpha-2.[60][61] By the end of Alpha-2, the game is expected to be feature complete, but it will not be content complete until launch.[62][63]
- Alpha-1 and Alpha-2 testers may be invited to participate in spot testing prior to the Alpha-2 release.[64][65]
- The game will be feature complete before Beta... Beta really is intended to identify last minute bugs to make sure that everything is ready for launch; it's important that all features are complete by Beta-1. Alpha-2 will not be feature complete at the start of Alpha-2. There are going to be updates that are going to be incorporated as part of the Alpha-2 process and there are going to be additional features that come online that get fleshed out between that time and Beta-1. There's going to be regions of the maps that aren't going to be accessible of course during Alpha-2.[63] – Steven Sharif
- Alpha-2 is intended to exist up until launch. There's going to be different testing periods that we will be releasing either new content locations or zones or systems that we want to have players focus in on. In those situations, if we're having participation drought because of the length of Alpha-2, we can set them up in a more focused setting. We can even incentivize that. We can offer unique testing to potentially new testers as well.[62] – Steven Sharif
Bővítmények
DLC kiegészítők (megjelenés utáni kiadások) évente négyszer várhatóak.[69]
- Egy DLC nem fog további pénzbe kerülni, elég a normál feliratkozás.[70][71]
- Az erőszint, a felszerelés, a készség szintek és a szintkorlát növekedni fog a kiegészítők megjelenésekor.[72]
Because of the modularity of a lot of the systems that we're working on, it's not too hard to iterate and implement new things... We're planning on going on a quarterly/ monthly cycle to continue to push out new content.[73] – Jeffrey Bard
The quarterly cycle for the big content is good for us and then, as you said, those modular components to our mechanisms in the game allow for us to introduce smaller content patches that can be seen in real time in the world.[73] – Steven Sharif
We don't intend to a wordsmith around future charge for DLC content. As a subscription model, that's part of the agreement between us as a Studio and you guys: That there will be regularly scheduled updates and chapters; and that subscription is what allows you to access that content.[74] – Steven Sharif
