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.

I'll probably kick in for early access and some kind of alpha or beta. And not play it much till right before release.

50/50 IMO, especially if they go the Star Citizen route and inflate the game the more funding they get. How much money did SOE bilk from people for EQN?

I don't know how much I can trust someone when it comes to discussing gravity if they recently thought the sun's surface gravity was 2g.

Any guesses on what their kickstarter goal will be? 400k? 1mill? 3mill?

1 like = 1 less day of waiting, 1 share = 10 less days of waitings!

It depends on how much time it takes to get those ships. If that mining ship is BiS mining ship and it takes 10k hours of farming to get the funds for it, yes it's a p2w move to sell it for $$$. If that mining ship is an intermediate mining ship that you buy, then sell a couple weeks later to...

Because SC has effectively monetized the desire for an epic space combat flight sim + MMO. I think most people aren't even thinking competitively when they drop $1k on the game. They're not thinking, "Oh many if I drop this much I can be the best pewpewpilot and get an edge on everyone else in...

They were only camped at their rez shrine in the start before the siege started and at the end when they basically gave up. Between then they would regroup at their tent, then sally out and attack. But we would usually hit their flank as they moved out and chase them to wherever they were going...

Yesterday we had our first real siege. Right now attacking a defended siege is all but impossible, but The White Order brought the heat and gave it their best effort and we thank them for it. The night began with TWO assaulting the area in front of our base pre-siege However they were...

Yes. It's what I did for $45 or so. I think I have access to alphas but haven't bothered playing since they initially released the hangar thing. Back then I bought it because I love space combat sims and wanted to help give money to the project and was afraid it wouldn't get enough coverage!!

Or the control scheme is natural for VR, ex: Elite Dangerous.

Good for Mir!

I doubt I'll ever push for an epic project again. Maybe if someone else manages it I'll help. Now the only things that are interesting are smallish builds that have some unique features. Once you do a massive, 3 month long project doing a 2+ week build just loses it's luster because you kind of...

Or you could just play the game and earn the ships ingame instead of paying $250 to skip parts of the game.
