Haven't checked in on this thread in a while.Ranger looks nice. Really wanting to see the Summoner or Bard.
They narrowed down Alpha 2 date for 3rd Quarter.
Reminds me of Crowfall so far, lots of cool "ideas" but the videos are kinda like slightly better stuff than last time but all the cool stuff is still to be done and what they show is not that impressive. That game also promised a lot of stuff, had a lot of alphas and betas and video, and eventually it half released already forgotten, then closed right away and now it's... dead I think? Clicking the official website on google brings me to an error page so their website isn't even running.Haven't checked in on this thread in a while.
Is it me, or does this game seem like it's basically in development hell and will never release? It's almost been a decade at this point. There's no way it's not going to be a pile of shit, right?
In a nutshell, I've been cautiously optimistic for a couple years and I haven't seen anything that moves the needle either way. Though the fact that they've hired a lot more people and production hit another gear in in late 2021, was a good sign.Haven't checked in on this thread in a while.

Website works fine and has been up / active for weeks now without interruption as I also checked that. They make money off the shop, quite a bit actually - so no, it wouldnt be offline for long if it did go down. I feel like you hit a fan made site by accident or something - which yea, Ive seen plenty of those rise and fall.Clicking the official website on google brings me to an error page so their website isn't even running.
Game has plenty of Hybrid Combat to get your action fix or your tab targeting fix. The action games always annoy the piss out of me because of their limitations so Im thankful for some semblance of control with tab targeting. But yes, I agree, tab targeting is fucking ancient.This is yet another tab-targetting MMO. Tab-targetting was fine in 2001 when I was playing on a Pentium 233, but it's time to hang up the ancient tech, boomers. The genre has moved on.
For that reason alone, I'm not interested at all. Not to mention all the retard bullshit systems they're trying to shoehorn in.

Ahh yea, I reread it and I just glossed over it I assume. I never could get into Crowfall and never really understood the appeal in it. Crowfall was never something that I actually thought would be worth af. Guess I wasnt alone.Pretty sure he was talking about Crowfall
The world is said to be 480 square kms, with an additional 100 square km for the under world. For comparison, New Worlds map is 40 square kms. I bring this up because fast travel is going to be limited, so the game will be more like Eve Online than it will be New World or WoW in THAT kind of regard. Bottle Necks will exist in some regions, which will be just like warp gate travel. But you have options, like the Under World, to get around them. There will supposedly be a cap of upwards of 10k people simultaneously online for each server. So it wont feel as sparse as it may sound, but you can very clearly fuck off to another part of the map entirely and likely never see anyone.I used to love PVP when I had a larger circle of friends that also enjoyed the game but as I got older I came to realize it attracts the lowest common denominator of player. It ends up with a small group of asshats making it their daily goal in life to deprive someone else of enjoyment by any means necessary. I'm not talking about the group of friends who run their Guild like a military unit and practice daily drills then go out and face roll groups, that will be just part of the game. I'm talking about the guilds like in Arkage, that would camp the bridges and lock down the entire server from any progression for days on end just because they could.

I emphasize the size of the map, because it just wont make any sense for an uber guild (or uber guilds) to capture every point of interest in a world so large. Take a look at the map of Eve Online for an example of what I think it will look like within AOC once it hits saturation. Unlike New World, there is diversity in a map this large. At certain distances, it just takes too long to travel there to form any type of meaningful defense/offense.
Where you at in all of this Xerge ?
This is what crowfall was supposed to be before they decided to make it minecraft instead with a side of battle royaleIt still floors me that no one has made an EVE fantasy by just cloning most of EVE's systems.
That game Pax Dei sounds like it's trying to go in that direction (although presumably with fewer spreadsheets). The fact that they've got some ex-EVE devs working on it engenders at least a little optimism.It still floors me that no one has made an EVE fantasy by just cloning most of EVE's systems.
