3 things: 1. If the maps are large / sparsely populated enough that it takes a couple weeks to scout out the enemy, then there's not enough resource contention (until the resources despawn in winter or whatever). This means the guilds pvping over resources will be getting outpaced by the...

I think both small groups and large groups wil lgravitate toward the dregs. The gvg seems useless. The factional stuff is better for newer players who want to PvP but don't have a proper group of people to do it with.

I actually think 1 month is the longest I'd want. But it all depends on the rules and winning conditions.

I think we won't know what works in terms of victory conditions until beta unless their alpha participation is in the thousands. A victory condition doesn't even make sense in the dregs, unless they just make it such that every player kill decreases the time until the world collapses or...

That's more of a problem with battlegrounds than nameplates. In a FFA/open world game if someone saw you and ran away you could steal their caravan and they lose something. In BG they just requeue to get a different opponent and only lose a couple minutes.

Did he say what's different about Shadow vs dregs? Is the only difference that you can't kill guild mates? If so that's a poor feature.

I'm glad they're doing EK and Dregs first. Personally after GW2,ESO and AA I'm done with factional gameplay for now. And the Guild vs Guild world seems nearly equivalent to the Dregs which is just open world pvp.

Without nameplates you have no idea who you are fighting against or with, and they have no idea who you are. This adds a huge impediment to building a community and developing reputations. This causes the game to feel very lifeless for players.

I think there's no chance there will be no nameplates or anonymous nameplates in crowfall. If they went that route I'd pull my money out and rickshaw this thread.

Development time, generally.

So for all the experiments going on with QE, what is your explanation for how it works? ex: JPL | News | Researchers Advance What is going on here that isn't QE?

A no map would would be cool. Especially if the different landmarks/villages/resources didn't have automatic name assignments. The community would be responsible for cartography and naming everything.

I wouldn't get too comfortable thinking that real problems can be solved by just spawning a new campaign with those rules. Not only does any new ruleset for a campaign need to be developed and tested (people underestimate how expensive this is), but when most people only play a game for a couple...

As a layman it looks like Furry is doing exactly what he is preaching against. He doesn't like the approach that brought about QE (seeing mathematical possibilities and trying to reproduce them experimentally) and is rejecting evidence of it. On the flip side, the people who disagree with...

Nameplates visible at all times or go home. Can someone who played eve explain what it'd be like for a new player who was talented and had lots of time to play? How long would they have to play before they were competitive?

Working with arduino must be nice for those classes. Massive userbase and community compared to what we had 5 or ten years ago.

I'm kind of disappointed that neither SC or ED went the path of 'millions of randomly generated planets you can claim ownership of and develop content for.'.

This reasoning is such a load of shit. WvW was really hurt by no nameplates because it accelerated the speed at which WvW felt repetitive. This was in addition to everyone having almost identical levels of gear after a month (Which I didn't mind) and classes being generally cookie cutter. I...

Probably took whales a day to get a new credit card with 10k empty on it. Or took a few people some time to get funds together to go into it together.

I feel like it'd be an insult to even ask this, haha.

A question from someone in PRX: Q: Will there be summoning, theft/stealth/stealth detection similar to Shadowbane?

You might want to follow in mmorpg.com's footsteps and ask, "Why did you choose to go to kickstarter?", "Some PvP games get old because one player ends up dominating the board, how do you plan on stopping that?" "Can you read the feature list to me like a Best Buy employee?"

I use references whenever possible and pointers when it's not possible. Pointers are much more versatile and much easier to screw up.

It'd be cool if every EK had a bloodstone that increased in potency based on how big the EK was. This bloodstone would confer some passive benefit or whatever. And every week each monarchy could attempt to take another EK's bloodstone by baning and attacking their EK. They would then have the...

The other big question is how to determine the rewards for a given campaign. In GW2 the campaigns were split up into tiers with a clear delineation. If you weren't in Tier1 few people in the general community cared if you won (the only time it was that exciting was when an influx of players...

Haha I think the same thing. If he turns out to be her father and he legitimately cares about her the show will get to a new level of unbelievability. If he loved her he would've never approached her and let her be a boring FBI profiler and fill in Sweet's position on Bones. Instead...

Ok sure. It's the Orgrimmar/Dalaran/Plane of Knowledge of Crowfall. But they're hyping up a big part of the reward system to give you resources to build that place. I can understand wanting to make a base of operations and build up top rank crafting/skill areas ala Shadowbane, but is there...

The question is how much PvP is acceptable to those players. If they want to be completely safe and be able to farm in peace, then they can find another game. If they want to be able to find low-risk/low-reward areas and farm while experiencing the risk of PvP but not have to fight every second...

Consider the logitech g600 instead: Amazon.com: Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse, Black: Computers Accessories It's the same feature set as the naga but has fewer reliability issues. Flex, that FAQ answers a lot, but really fails to answer why a PvPer would want to spend time in the EK. If...

I never played Tera but did play Dark Souls (and skyrim I guess). I wouldn't mind trying an animation lock style MMO.

Note that includes combat consumables, clickies etc.

So you're telling me the Quantum Entanglement communicator that Martin Sheen put on my space ship is bullshit? I reject your reality and substitute my own.

come at him bro

It's a little condescending to ask a game producer if he's ever played an FPS and to put his hand on a keyboard. Maybe you should phrase your question, "How many abilities do you expect a player to have access to during combat? Will it be the 50+ that WoW has, or more like 8 that ESO has? How do...

What's the aggro mod?

Could come out April 2016 and I'd still be excited about it.

500k

I thought that was funny too, they kind of squirmed when shit talking their VC funding and talked around that they got 2.7million or whatever VC. I was hoping we'd get 500k before midnight EST. I still think it'll be funded by Saturday though.

I'm surprised that C# has increased so much in the last few years. Then again I'm completely insulated by my usage of C/C++ over the last few years. I don't know what its usage is in embedded programming and robotics but I wouldn't be surprised if it was 80%.
