This game just sounds like a few dozen 'good ideas' on a white board. Super ambitious. If they can pull it off, could be revolutionary. But I'm too skeptical to think they'll pull it off with such a small team and budget.

The controls are a lot better. They still have * a lot* of work though. Combat feels really spammy to met right now. I'd almost rather they give some 'overpowered' abilities with long cooldowns than just feel like I'm cycling through all my hotkeys.

It's basically TF2 meets League of Legends.

The Division Breaks Ubisoft Records - Ubisoft announced today that its third-person action-RPG has sold more copies in its first 24 hours than any game in Ubisoft's history. Honestly kind of surprises me. It really didn't feel like the hype wasthathigh for this game. Died down a lot since...

The more I play this, the more I get annoyed with the intentional tediousness to push you towards the cash shop. It's a buy-to-play game with free-to-play mechanics and cash shop model. The complete lack of armor sets without paying $30 is pretty discouraging as well.Everyonelooks exactly the...

I've done all that I can so far. Doesn't change the fact that I don't have nearly enough room for how much shit the quests try to stuff into my inventory. Maybe I'm just wasting too much time doing crafting quests instead of just leveling.

I don't think I've ever felt so confused in an MMO. Seems pretty deep with the trading system and all that. I just have no clue WTF I'm doing. I've hired workers and gathered nodes...I just have no clue if anything I'm doing is actually effective or efficient. Also, I fucking HATE that...

You like Phil? He's kind of a dick. Tandy though, he's the cool one.

I don't get why the Russians would so obviously indicate their involvement in such a serious international incident. Also, why didn't Carrie tell everyone to get the fuck out of the train platform instead of just standing exactly where the gas would be. Pull a fire alarm...shoot your gun in...

C9's turn around with Hai was impressive no matter how you slice it. Sure, they didn't suddenly become the best team in the world - but they went from bottom of NA, to battling their way through the entire gauntlet and earning their way to Worlds. Hell, they even had a somewhat decent showing...

Alpha is over. However, the Beta for all platforms should be early next year. Some interesting stats from the Alpha forum:

He just beat Rekkles 1v1 in a Lucian mirror match. He must not be that shabby.

Yes. Bjergsen could not handle shotcalling and carrying from Mid. Lustboy struggles with English, and didn't seem to really have a 'voice' on the team. They also have an aggressive jungler, which they haven't had in...just about ever. And Hauntzer is one of the most versatile top laners, and...

Proximity chat will help. I do think they should look into some sort of Matchmaking for the Dark Zone. That's still going to be a risk, but it's better than nothing.

I know I shouldn't be too surprised, but the Alpha forums make me want to wretch. The Developers FEATURED a player backstabbing his team and stealing all the loot in the Dark Zones, and yet there is just incessant whining on the Alpha forums about how there's so many 'toxic' and 'trolling'...

Pretty sure it only takes place in New York, but it appears to be pretty damn big. It's modeled pretty closely, although I know there are some streets and areas missing.

Finally got some time in the Dark Zone. Was pretty fun. Actually tried to group up to re-do the Medical Mission again, but we never got a fourth, so we just ran to the Dark Zone and started exploring. Scavenged around, found some loot. Completed some extractions. Had a group of 2 Rogue...

Surprised there's not more people talking about this. Only just now started running into some bugs and issues. Overall pretty smooth Alpha, though. Dark Zones are interesting, but I feel like they need more PvE content in them. Something like dynamic zone-wide missions for Squads to...

I only got to play for one hour this morning, so these are just my first impressions. First, the alpha is very limited in scope. There's literally only one story mission to complete. After that there are small 'events' you can respond to, and of course, PvP in the Dark Zones. The story...

Crowfall also doesn't have quests, and 'few' NPCs. They really just have to create the systems, and let players go at it. They're also using a lot of middleware, which will cut down on development. It could end up biting them in the ass in the long run, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Oh no, he's a meanie on an internet forum. What a piece of a shit.

I feel way more helpless in HOTS if my team sucks. Seems more difficult to have individual success in HOTS than in League, from my limited experience.

Draegen talked to them about this in the recent interview to a small extent, and it doesn't seem they're designing for eSports specifically. They basically said whether it becomes an eSport or streaming sensation will really be up to the fans. They've also said they don't really want people...

Holy shit. Did they do over 100k in the last 8 hours?

I liked that Thomas Blair was on. He was able to talk about some more specific mechanic choices, rather than bigger design theory that J Todd Coleman specializes in. Good job overall! Hopefully you can get them back on every so often. Would be neat to get some other developers too, like Billy...

They did it tonight. Here you go:Twitch Gold and Glory interviewed them tonight as well:CROWFALL Devs on the Interview Couch w/ the Gold Glory Podcast [Ep. 9] - YouTube

Well, it is a new IP compared to CU piggybacking off the 'Camelot' name.

Glad they understand the importance of satisfying combat.

AMA is Live. Crowfall AMA with Executive Producer and Creative Director : Games

Heh.

J Todd on the Eternal Kingdom being compared to the 'entire Soccer season':

Draegen, tomorrow when they're on the podcast, I have a potential question you can ask regarding the procedural generation. Thomas Blair had this to say: Does this mean that 'Tetris tiles' are procedurally generated at the beginning, and then the world built with these QC'd created pieces? In...

Coleman And Walton Wednesday - News & Announcements - Crowfall Community Devs doing an AMA on /r/Games tomorrow.

Todd, Gordon, and Thomas are going to be on Crowns and Crows (9PM EST) & Gold and Glory (8PM EST) podcasts tomorrow.

Here's some from the Q&A today if you didn't participate. Replies from Todd (@jtoddcoleman) Q: Has there been any consideration for proximity voice chat? Or is @CrowfallGame going to rely on mostly text communication? A: @_Teekey_ @CrowfallGame text is the current plan Q: #CFQuestions...

Yeah, Disciplines should be used for specialization. Even things like Pets should be specialized. Perhaps they're strong against backline squishies, but not nearly as good against Armored frontline.

Pet Taming is likelygoing to be a Discipline(of which you're limited to 3), so noteveryoneis going to have one.

They're answering questions on Twitter from from 3PM CST - 6PM CST. Crowfall on Twitter:
