PLAYER INTERACTION

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/File:intro.mp4

Ashes of Creation intro sequence.[6]

Game systems and mechanics that foster player interaction.

 * Dungeons | Raids | Combat
 * Guilds | Guild halls | Guild fortresses | Guild castles
 * Group dynamics | Looting
 * Affiliations
 * Social organizations
 * Parlor games

> We decided to focus on mechanics that bring the idea of community to the
> forefront. To get people to interact with each other meaningfully – not just
> to conquer a raid boss, or to get some coin from a faceless auction house, but
> to maybe save a city. A city that all the local residents had a stake in. A
> city that the players had spent weeks or months developing; the defense of
> that city, the attack on that city! Or building a world together as a
> community choosing our own fate with our friends. We believe that’s going to
> be a story far more memorable and far more meaningful to players than just
> about anything we can come up with.[7]


PLAYER AGENCY

Systems that grow and shape player experiences in the game.

 * Weapons | Armor
 * Progression | Leveling
 * Housing | Node housing | Apartments | Freeholds
 * Mounts | Mules | Dragons
 * Character creator | Gear appearance
 * Cosmetics | Skins | Costumes | Accessories
 * Inventory | Consumables

> We will have a lot of content that is available, but those will be behind
> doors that are accessible through agency on behalf of the community. In a
> traditional sense, no we are not a theme-park, however we will probably have
> more content than a theme-park does, traditionally. Just because, in order for
> those choices to be meaningful, there must be meaningful content behind the
> door you choose.[9] – Steven Sharif


RISK VS. REWARD


Pre-alpha arenas.[10]

> Risk is a healthy thing. Risk makes us value reward. Without risk we would not
> pursue certain achievements, because anybody could achieve them. Risk makes us
> have a sense of thrill, or have some sense of anxiety; and those are all
> emotional responses that get elicited when risk is present. So, risk isn't a
> bad thing. We like risk, not just in PvP but in PvE as well: when you can't
> always predict the environment or encounter you are part of, risk is something
> like 'Ah, I've never seen this boss do that before.' or these adds came at an
> ill-placed time, there's a trap here that I didn't experience before. There's
> a lot of elements that risk introduces that keep gameplay less stale; that
> keep it more dynamic; that introduce environments where the unexpected can
> occur. That is a good thing.[11] – Steven Sharif

Activities that reward daring adventurers and foster meaningful conflict.

 * World PvP | Caravans | Guild wars
 * Node sieges | Castle sieges
 * Player corruption | Bounty hunters
 * Arenas
 * Achievements | Leader boards | Trophy park
 * Exploration | Treasure hunting
 * Stock exchange (sharemarket)

> 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.[12] – Steven Sharif
