Hello there! I’m Roy Cronacher, and as a game designer for ArenaNet, I’m excited to tell you about upcoming changes to the trait system. These changes focus on improving the ease of use for spending points and selecting traits as well as how major traits are acquired. Later on in the post, my fellow game designer Karl McLain will talk about some of the shiny new traits we’re introducing. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get started!
大家好！我是Roy Cronacher，ArenaNet的游戏设计师，能在这里为大家讲解特性系统即将到来的变化真是让我十分兴奋。这些变化将致力于改善分配点数与选择特性时的难易程度，以及改变获取特性的主要方式。在后面我的同事Karl McLain会为大家介绍一些劲爆的新特性。要说的东西还很多，我们赶紧开始吧！
Trait Points
特性点数
Currently, level 80 players have 70 trait points to spend across all trait lines and have to invest five points into a given trait line to unlock their next minor or major trait. We’re condensing trait points so that each point will be the equivalent of five of the old points. This means that at level 80, you’ll have 14 points to assign instead of 70. You’ll start acquiring points at level 30, when the adept trait tier is unlocked, then you’ll earn one trait point every six levels until level 66, when you’ll start earning two trait points at a time。
现在的游戏中，80级的人物有70个特性点可以进行分配，每分配5个特性点可以点出一个主要特性或次要特性。我们的考虑是将系统简化，用1个特性点就能达到以前5个的效果。也就是说，人物到达80级时只会拥有14个特性点而不是70个。第一个特性点的获取将提高到30级，同时解锁专家特性，然后每六级获得一个特性点，直到66级，最后的阶段你将每次获取两个特性点。
Trait Tiers
特性分级
One fundamental change to the way traits function is that you won’t be required to visit a profession trainer and purchase a training manual to access the adept, master, and grandmaster trait tiers! Once you reach the appropriate level, we want you to be able to dive right into the system and start playing around with it, so you’ll unlock each tier for free!
As part of this approach to ** traits more approachable, we’ve pushed back the level at which the different trait tiers unlock for new characters in order to better pace the early game experience and to add more meaningful character progression from levels 30 to 80. Starting with this feature pack, new characters will unlock the adept tier at level 30, the master tier at level 60, and the grandmaster tier at level 80.
特性系统的一个根本性的改变就是你不再需要拜访职业训练师，购买特性手册来解锁专家、大师和宗师等级的特性！我们希望玩家到达指定等级时就能马上体验到这个系统的魅力，并用它来征战四方。如此，玩家就无需花钱来解锁这些特性等级了！
同时，为了让游戏前期体验更加平滑，也为了让30到80级的升级过程更有意义，我们也提高了解锁每个特性等级所需的人物等级。随着这个新功能的推出，新人物将在30级解锁专家特性，60级解锁大师特性，80级解锁宗师特性。
