Ladder system

Ladder system is a seasonal-based achievement system in Ashes of Creation. This may refer to:

• Guild ladder.
• Arena ladder.
• Node regering titles.
• Social organization progression.

Guild ladder

An inter-guild ladder will rank guilds based on their performance within competitive activities:

• Guild wars.
• Castle sieges.
• World bosses.

When the guild participates in guild wars or they participate in sieges, you'll be able to climb the ranks of your inter-guild ladder as well so you get bragging rights amongst your friends. – Steven Sharif

Arena ladder

Pre-alpha Arena UI.

The arena ladder system records a player's progress within PvP seasons based on their arena win/loss ratios.

• Titles can be received from arena play.
• Other rewards will be revealed at a later time.
• Arena points that can be used to buy gear is not currently in the design.

Node government titles

Node regeringen worden gekozen van de bevolking van een node, wanneer de node level 3 bereikt (Dorp). De methode voor het kiezen van de regering en haar burgemeesters ligt aan het type node.

• Deze vertaling is mogelijk verouderd

De regeringen van goddelijke nodes worden gekozen uit burgers via service-georiënteerde quests die het geloof in en de toewijding aan de node testen.

• Deze vertaling is mogelijk verouderd

Regeringen van economische nodes worden gekocht en verkocht door burgers die het meeste geld hebben.

• Burgemeesters van militaire nodes worden kozen uit burgers via een 'last-man-standing' (gladiatorale arenastijl) gevecht.
• Deze vertaling is mogelijk verouderd

Regeringen van wetenschappelijke nodes worden democratisch gekozen.

Social organization progression

Social organization progression is achieved through accomplishing tasks or quests within that social organization.

• Some progression is static, but more competitive achievements will be seasonal, based on a ladder system.

There are hierarchical paths pertaining to specific questlines for the organization's thematic. These quests will either be cooperative with or adversarial against other nodes based on their mutual war status.

• Sabotage.
• Espionage.
• Intrigue.

- For example, a Thieves' guild may have objectives and quests toward securing a particular item to enable players to advance within the organization.

Social organizations are going to have questlines that players participate in which some will include sabotage, espionage, intrigue... While it's not necessarily player versus player in the combat sense, it is player versus player in pitting communities in those organizations against each other in a competitive atmosphere, where only some things can be accomplished by certain communities; and not everybody can succeed at a particular task. So, I think that that's a unique way to involve meaningful conflict that doesn't necessarily have to relate to PvP, because obviously we have a lot of PvP systems in the game and and there are many ways for players to participate in player versus player combat; but we also want to make sure that from a progression standpoint, from a system standpoint there are going to be abilities of individuals to follow these questlines, these tasks that will pit organizations against each other, specifically from an organizational standpoint. – Steven Sharif

Leader boards

Players will be able to opt-in to track certain achievements on leaderboards, such as.

• Dungeons completed.
• Raids completed.
• PvP kills.
• Caravans raided.
• Gathering activity.

Leaderboards may be seasonal.

We have many dreams that we want to do with game-to-web and game-to-mobile in regards to showing stats and being making things shareable for you. We know how social media works; how sharing content with friends works. But those things will come in due time. – Margaret Krohn

• Some leaderboards will be across all servers.

PvP seasons

Performance in various PvP systems (such as Caravans, Arenas, Guild wars) is measured over the course of 6 month PvP seasons. At the end of each season, a player's cumulative score may unlock various rewards.

• Gear enhancement rewards.
• Achievement ranks.
• Purchasing power (Currency).
• Potentially more granular player health bars.

Metrics

Ashes of Creation gathers tracking data to facilitate achievements, titles and other accolades on a server.

• Number of successful siege defenses.
• Number of successful siege assaults.
• Number of PvP kills.
• Number of PvP deaths.
• Raid participation points.
• Number of firsts.

Visibility of those types of things on the server help to promote a competitive atmosphere. If there is an attainable impression that you can work towards, so that others know your success, you have more drive to succeed. – Steven Sharif

World history

The history of each server will be tracked and visible to players in a node's library.

• This design may have changed.

We're gonna keep track of the history of the world so that we can tell people the story up to the current day. A player who's brand new, who's come in at the six-month mark can take a look at each server, what each server has done, how each server has tackled the storyline; and they can decide for themselves what community they want to join; what version of the world that they want to take part in. – Jeffrey Bard

• Scribes may be able to collect and record information about the events of the world as they see it from their point of view.

Memory fragments

Server-firsts within a server's story arc will be able to be captured and collected on memory fragments that players can collect in-game so they may relive their experiences.

We're going to leverage tech that captures at the moment when something server-first is done in the story arc; and those will be recorded on these memory fragments that players can collect within the game through their experiences and relive potentially. – Steven Sharif

Libraries

Academic node building.

At Dorp (fase 3) the academic node's unique building is the Bibliotheek.

• Information about the world will be presented directly to players through the world map UI. Previously the Library was used to access information about the world, such as the history of significant narrative events, locations of gatherable resources, dungeons, and POIs.

In the past we talked about having a library that was capable of facilitating players exchanging information for map data like that, but we've moved a little bit more in a direction of just presenting that information up front to the player, because travel is such a meaningful portion of the game and we don't have fast travel. So, I think that for Alpha-2 what's planned is that we're going to be showcasing the intricate details of services offered at these node locations from just a UI presentation standpoint within the map. – Steven Sharif

Players can use the Library to access information, including (but not limited to) the following:
