I second Lasch's question. My big questions are: 1. Can you go into more detail about the Dregs? How can a guild work together in the Dregs? What is a victory condition? How does a player get chosen as a winner/loser? 2. The reason the early game in MMOs is exciting is because poopsock...

and there's no more videos to watch... what am I supposed to watch while I'm cycling my 150 pine trees?

this video sucks too, thanks for interviewing them, playing the game then reading off the features list, lol. About as useful as a best buy employee.

this was a terrible interview.

I'm surprised Ruby is so high.

Basically. The rewards aren't that great. For us it was always just a fun guild event and a good opportunity to try out new strats, give new leaders some experience leading large raids, set an example of how to properly lead raids etc.

Overhyped would probably be different rulesets, because it's an invitation for every special snowflake to imagine their favorite ruleset, or all the koolaid drinkers to sweep any potential problems under the rug under the pretense that it'll be fixed with different rulesets. Another overhyped...

Ah cool. If each of the 12 archetypes get 3 extra classifications each it's hard to think of holes that other archetypes can fill. Likely they'll be a lot of overlap too.

Why do you say that? Are the archtypes promotion trees somewhere I can see them?

Yeah that's a fair bet. Thief, bard, cleric, illusionist, shaman, necromancer, shadowknight, tinkerer(forgemaster?) etc seem to be missing. Come to think of it, a necromancer is the biggest omission given the focus on undead in this game. It'd be interesting to have a class that started off kind...

Shit is getting funded in the next two days IMO. This game didn't get much press pre-release, but now it will.

Not sure what you mean. It's pretty hard to work with C/C++ and not use pointers, and those two languages comprise of a massive chunk of programming.

+100 Any word on how you reserve your name?

I don't know exactly what this means: https://www.crunchbase.com/organizat...-entertainment But I think they have 2.4 mill of VC. Then they get more from crowdfunding. Even if they didn't have any VC I'd expect them to get some if they did well via crowdfunding.

Crowfall doesn't seem to be setting itself out to be a big budget MMO. They're reusing COTS software, have generally low-fidelity graphics, have only basic PvE content and uses randomly generated zones.

From what I can tell players can only set the rules in the EK tier, which has no resources. No telling what character advancement can happen in the EK vs where the cool kids are in the dregs. Sure, the devs set the winning conditions, but what winning conditions make sense in the dregs? A...

Cool, looks like they have some limited support for projections now (rather than just basic trendlines which are useless in early kickstarters). Too bad there's not enough data for their projection engine.

found this: Sounds like they are considering having monarch vs monarch fights. I wonder how the scaling will work. It could be that having mega-sized monarchies is the most rewarding and guilds like PRX would unite with other guilds. Or it could be that the more fealties you get the more...

Sure, that makes sense. But what else will you be able to do? Does the PvP crowd really want to go sit in a kingdom and jerk off in the guild house? Is there any opportunity for PvP and conquering other people's kingdoms? Can you use the kingdom to either train or import resources into a campaign?

From what I can tell I don't think everyone gets their own? I think a monarch gets one, then everyone swears fealty to him and he allots them a space in his EK. The big question is what's the value of having a badass EK. Personally I'm a bit annoyed about the expensive kickstarter tiers...

Make the gameplay fun then make the animations around the gameplay. Weight in animations means animation locking, which means it feels generally unresponsive or laggy. I'd say AA is a pve game. If they tweaked a few things to force players to risk PvP when farming it'd be much more pvp centric...

While I agree that the publisher + developer model generally works better than developers on their own, one could also argue that the people running this show didn't offer it to publishers because they want full control and rights to it for very good reasons. I'm not going to sit here and...

The less opportunity for group inter-dependence (ex: having dedicated healers) the less able organized groups are to take on larger ones.

can't hotlink kickstarter images I guess. Either way you can read it on their page. Crowfall - Throne War PC MMO by ArtCraft Entertainment, Inc. Kickstarter Seems like the EK is all about having a monarch that rules a world, then distributes land to its members and they can use that land...

I feel your pain. After Auroria the west completely overran halcy. Like 200 west and 0 east. I wanted to change this so I set up guild raids 3 days a week. We'd bring in some 70 people and act as a speed bump for the western army. After a few of these raids I reached out to the guild leaders of...

So I don't really know what the differences is between the dregs and the shadow https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/003...d_original.jpg https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/003...a_original.jpg In the dregs Is there friendly fire? Is there no ability to drop guild in the shadow? Are only two...

No point in even trying to nail down when this shit is going to happen. They have no real idea when it's going to get released and they have no contractual obligation to hit any dates.

And now the store will be condensed to be purely virtual.

At this early stage it's more about helping a game we want to play come to fruition than whatever bullshit comes with the packages. If you're a PVPer who wants the industry to know there is a market for PvP games, you have an opportunity to vote with your wallet.

With regard to RNG, because RNG permeates every level of this game's gear one can't focus on one item they get screwed on as the reason they are undergeared. By the time you get a delph weapon and epherium armor to celestial (what you need to be considered 'geared') you'll have either rolled...

For those that don't know, pyksel is a god-tier graphic artist and made our PRX crest. It's funny how many people who have played with PRX before have shown up in the last few months saying their friends quit within a month or something else and they want to reroll on our server. Note that...

I better not have to cough up hundreds of dollars so I can fly Surprised they went with 800k. Should've gone to at least 2mill. Anyone got a reputable 'kick starter estimation' website?

Furry, why is qe unprovable? If qe works can't they use it to communicate over long distances without an electrical connection?

You don't. I'm just saying that if you enable someone to keep drinking without repercussions you're not doing them a favor.

I've almost always used C++ instead of straight C, but in C you have to declare your variables at the top of the function so the compiler knows what memory to allocate (I think). So you can't put your declaration in the for loop. You can always tell when a developer spent a lot of time in C...

If people make AAA games that fill a market neglected for over a decade that's fine by me. It's not like the next CoD or even loved games like the next GTA or elder scrolls game would be able to do what SC did. The people buying $1000 ships want a massive flight sim game and there's nothing for...

beautiful wife. Go do some manscaping!

No, I don't think so anyway. If you have It would help you fill the answer on Bobby B. It's not really that useful, but the live validation is since json is pretty hard to write correctly. Even in that little bit of json I spat out and having worked with json for years it's a coin flip...

For linux C++ I use eclipse cdt. It's so much worse than visual studio + visual assist =( For json I use sublime text, it's the only editor I've found that has syntactical assistance (intellisens) and validation.
