    I'm surprised they're going the route of making export of items require PvP. I like it. I'm also a little surprised that given the kickstarter is just for the dregs all their answers on faction export rules are based around gvg or factional realms. I haven't heard a single thing about how...

    He was a nice but quiet guy on the show until he got drunk and started saying some really stupid and hurtful things that he apologized about the next day. People never forgave him for it because they believe that was the only time he was being genuine and he was a real asshole.

    I don't disagree with the prediction (mine was 2.2mill), but I don't think the end curve will look like this. It's too steep in the middle and too flat in the end.

    Virtual Reality

    I hope that OVR is wildly successful, partners up with Valve and makes VR standards for other people to follow. With OVR/Valve doing all the research there will be a low entry cost for making a VR product, which means a lot of people trying a lot of different things. OVR could stifle that...

    Self-important and ignorant question: How much do French, German, Russian, Italian, Polish and Dutch players really care about a translation in their native tongue?

    "Make your own damn game eurofags!" Crowfalll, more than any other mmo sounds like it could be released with server tools and modding support for people to run their own small scale servers. Obviously that isn't the vision for the game but it would be interesting.

    ugh, typo, I mean to say, "How bad must it feel tolosein such a fashion". I bet winning like that is great when you don't have anything to prove like Ronda. No injuries, can party immediately after, train the next day and fight as soon as the UFC can hype up a fight. Plus if she gets in a...

    Just finished Draegan's interview. Really great work, Draegan. I think if you can bring that kind of journalistic credibility to other spheres of MMO gaming you can do a lot of good for the community.

    Shadowbane had nice player-made factions. You could roll up different guilds into one faction and fight together. Just it turns out most servers would get dominated by one faction and then the game would be over. That's how it was on Treachery with us leading the charge =\

    How bad must it feel to lose in such a dumb fashion? We've all made mistakes, some big ones, some small ones, but probably few so quick and decisive and against our training and preparation that ended our chance to 'make it' like that. You've got to feel miserable in ways I can't imagine.

    The other thing is that the last three PVP games I've played are AA, ESO and GW2. I am so tired of factional PvP games. I want truly open world PvP games. I think the last one I played was AoC. I feel like the pvp community is in the same spot and everyone is excited for open world pvp.

    I'll probably play CU too. I'm less excited about CU because I don't see a lot of new ideas from them. Just looking at: Camelot Unchained by City State Entertainment Kickstarter It looks like the same ideas from DAoC just recycled, so from a game discussion standpoint (which this forum...

    Doubt it. If they get a developer who gets a stick up his ass about developing a baller randomized dungeon you might see some cool dungeon/cave PvP, but it won't be that interesting. PRobably very little of the world will be anything unique like unrest, PoM etc.

    My guess is 2 million. But it depends on them now. I feel like their target audience generally knows and likes the ideas in the game. They'll have to do a few things: 1. Avoid pissing off their market (Ex: Don't commit to anything like nameplates!). 2. Monetize the rewards by putting out...

    Note that they're still in the, "Let's not cross anything off the table so we can get as much money as possible from our target audience.". Saying, "I've got no problem with nameplates, but others on the development team do" could be, "Yeah no nameplates is a retarded idea but there's a lot of...

    I'm not accusing you this, but it reminded me of some of the hype I see around the CF communities. One thing about pre-release communities is there is always a notion that someone can just focus on crafting and become an independent master craftsmith without a guild to back them. This is a total...

    I think them being at this stage is appropriate for where they are in the development cycle, but it's a little annoying that their response to most questions seem to be, "Let's talk about features that will probably never be implemented!". It's all just hopium, imo.

    Yeah there's nothing wrong with exclusively using shared_ptr to manage your memory allocation of objects. I haven't benchmarked with the performance cost is if you're constantly incrementing and decrementing the usage count if you make frequent function calls and pass a ton of shared_ptrs...

    I think it will be. It's critical to the continuity of the game. Besides that, the group of people who are successful in a PvP campaign aren't going to be interested in fighting the hunger indefinitely.

    There isn't an easy answer. The two big parts of it are: 1. The gameplay has to be fun. You can't just enjoy it because you're winning, which is true of a lot of elements in MMOs.

    I didn't read the question he was responding to, but I'm wary of the kickstarter-period response of, 'I see you've pointed out some valid complaints of our design. Here's a spitball design that will never happen that muddies the water enough that we don't have to have a real answer to your...

    I use shared_ptrs a lot. They're fine. A lot of the times I don't use them is just because I want to manage the memory myself, don't want the shared_ptr constructs mucking around or just because the syntax of std::shared_ptr<Student> student; is more annoying than Student * student;

    Ok. I agree totally and I don't think they will compress that stage since that stage is the whole point of the multiple campaigns (to an extent). Here's how an ideal campaign start would look like to me with a basic ruleset on Dregs: Day1: Hour0: Everyone spawns completely randomly all...

This is a case where the regular community will have an advantage in high-import rules over the irregular players, so they'll gravitate...

    And holy crap the official forums are a mess but it's the only place with unending crowfall content to burn out on 2 years pre-release. They need to do a repeat of what they did in shadowbane and make a private forum where all the legitimate players are invited to.
