Group sizes
Ashes of Creation is designed for solo players as well as large and small groups.[2][3][4]
- The idea behind an 8-person group is to allow us to really amplify party roles, and to create a need for each of the archetypes in every party.[5]
- Raids will have 40 man groups.[6]
- Content will be tailored for 40, 16 and 8 person group sizes.[7]
- Arenas will have 1 man, 3 man, 5 man and possibly 20 man Free-For-All (Deathmatch) group sizes.[8]
- Castle sieges are expected to have at minimum 250x250 players to be on a single battlefield, with the possibility of increasing this to 500x500 over time.[10][11][12][13]
- The minimum goal is 500 players on a single battlefield. I think we will be able to hit 500vs500 but we shall see.[13] – Steven Sharif
Siege participation
Non-registered combatants are not permitted on the siege field in castle or node sieges.[14]
- Alpha-1 castle sieges are located in a separate zone that is accessible via a NPC teleporter.[15][16][17][18]
- Castle sieges (in the final game) may or may not be instanced.[17][19]
- Players could potentially intercept stragglers with the guild war or flagging system en route to the siege field.[21]
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.[22]
