    Name it, "This and every other fan site out there right now won't be active by the time Crowfall comes out" If you really want to make it stand out, put Crow in the name: Fan Sites - Crowfall Community

    EQ is another game that really cashed in on multi-accounting. It's like asking someone, "Would you like 1 dollar or 2?". Like I said before: The only real solution to having dedicated and competent crafters is to have a legitimate crafting system that has more complexity than 1000 recipes and...

    Yep, that's the first thing I thought when I saw that passive skill increase is how you level and you can either choose combat or crafting skills. Ok we'll just have a group of guild accounts that are 100% crafting. I'd rather have my character have 10% better combat stats than have it be able...

    I think it's unlikely they'll have a time consuming enough crafting system it's unlikely that a lot of people will really come out the gate just crafting like that. Like in most games, the top crafters will have personally gotten the materials for themselves, participate in PvP and be supplied...

    Fuck factional PvP. CU: Factional AA: Factional ESO: Factional Warhammer: Factional GW2: Factional I'm tired of it.

    1: I hope it's not as drastic as that. My hope is that someone starting in a fresh campaign at the start will hit a softcap in a month that makes their character competitive with anyone. However they seem to like that logarithmic passive growth idea so we'll see. If a 2 year old character can...

    They're making their own engine right? That's pretty ambitious! I look forward to seeing what they can create when they focus on an engine around mass PvP.

    Why would you think that you're in early or not at all? The intent of the game is to reset every month or so, such that everyone can be on an equal playing field every campaign.

    If you read And interpretted it as, "ESO would be better if they didn't level-gate the content", then you probably have no idea why ESO is a terrible game.

    Did you just say that the only reason TES worked as sandbox games were because of auto-scaling, then say that you liked TES4 even more without it? Go play Nehrim and then come back here and tell us the only reason single player TES games worked as sandbox was because of auto scaling...

    I feel like they use the wailing prison as an easy to deploy experience for their focus groups, and everytime they ask their focus groups what they think of the game they get a negative response and their reaction is to redo the wailing prison. I can see the conversation going: "Proctor...

    One thing I'd love to see is a tracking of all the people who paid over $1000 for SC, and how quickly they stop playing after the official release.

    This is why being open with your customer at this stage is bad. They're like ravenous hounds and as soon as you cut them off from information they don't really know yet they start turning on you.

    I think the initial million dollars of stretch goals will be things that are critical to the game to help motivate people to buy in. Plus with only a 800k minimum it is reasonable to have a pared down feature set.

    Crowfall

    I agree, they should conduct a poll of people who want to play female centaurs and then ban the people who vote yes from their forums. My hope iwth stretch goals is that whatever garbage carrot they kick out for the stretch goal only represents a fraction of what they'll spend that money on.

    I think the usage of Unity in the development community in general is good. I hope it is also be good for CF. Reusing an existing engine is usually a huge help and cost saver, but can lead to problems when you run into limitations of the system. CU seems to be building an engine from the...

    Oh and a quick note on resource nodes vs keeps, in GW2 and ESO, the resource nodes were outlying defensive mechanism for the keeps, and the keeps were the strategically important targets. I think this is totally backward. Not only does a map full of huge keeps makes no sense, but the keeps...

    No offense taken. Keep in mind, however, groups like PRX and LotD (and SiN!) want a game that has a lot of small-scale and meaningful PvP. This happens in ArcheAge where someone needs to generate wealth by moving their resource (packs) across an ocean. They grab a few people, hop on a boat...

    There's a lot of cool stuff coming out about SC and they're doing some very good work, but I think it will be a disappointment for a lot of people who bought into the hype and smoked hopium every day.

    Seems like Crowfall having FFA pvp and having campaigns of set durations makes it stand out, but there's only two real PvP games on the horizon, CU and CF.

    I can't remember if I mentioned this here but they sent me (and I assume a lot of other heavy-hitting PvP guilds) general questions about PvP. I think they'll be covering that and likely Crowfall news that you'd already know if you follow it.

    Yeah I think that's the biggest question in this game that we won't answer until it happens. If you reset player progress, will the players want to replay it? I think it'll all depend on how fun the actual game is. For all its fun points, leveling and building a city in Shadowbane sucked balls...

    level 55 patch on March 10th! Now is a relatively good time to return to the game if you're looking to. We don't have the 1.7 patch which will bring a lot of good ship PvP, but we are getting the level 55 patch which will level the playing field slightly with new Obsidian weapons.

    This is especially true if the rewards are account bound. The more I think about it, the more I think there should be two tiers of rewards: personal and group/faction/whatever related. Players need to look out for themselves and think for themselves.

    First, that's a cop out. Second, I think most people in the PVP community care about the dregs more than other worlds for several reasons. Third, the kickstarter is for the dregs right now and the dregs will be the first world developed and exposed to the players. If the whole thing falls...

    I think they're hoping that if MegaGuild_1 dominates Campaign 13, then all the guilds in Campaign 15 will ally up against them and destroy them. Sometimes this is the case, sometimes the opposite happens. Usually it depends on how arrogant MegaGuild_1 acts. People are extremely sensitive toward...

    Of all the design decisions they have to make a choice on I think this is one of them that can be changed the most easily and one I'm not too worried about. It's a central component to their different rulesets and it's a 100% new feature to MMOs. I think they'll have to try a bunch of different...

    Haha. That's how the only castle to change hands on Kyrios was done, with a 200k buyout (was worth about $800 at the time). The guild that bought it also paid some 80k gold at Auroria release to buy all the resources to claim a castle after we about kicked them off Auroria. IMO: This is a...

    People worried about large guilds dominating Dregs should be worried. The more potential for loss you add to the game the more risk averse people will be. The more risk averse they are the more willing they will be to team up. The more they team up the less room there is very small-group pvp...
