    Since it's pretty easy to spot the confessor I was thinking you could alternate between the dash and the fireball abilities. Assuming stamina can regen fairly quickly.

    What classes from all other MMOs would you bring back into a new Game?

    Totally agree that healers and support having similar DPS to other classes. I think the best way for buffs is to make them short (3-5 seconds) with a medium length cooldown (30sec to 2min) so that people aren't solely focused on buffs.

    Thread: Blizzard Conducted A WoW Former Player Study. Here Are the Questions Asked

    Dungeons had a purpose and a goal that everyone wanted to get, which was LOOT. The lockout timer was like 7 days? Which was a bummer because it was only there to slow people down from getting loot too quickly. The encounters themselves were fun because they were different and there was a...

    I honestly think they just need to flesh out character creation/progression and the campaign content. With those two things down, you can alpha/beta test to flesh out problems. EK content and rewards should be easier to change later on, but then again, I'm not a game designer.

    Been watching the game Hand of Fate on twitch tv. It has a very smart way to allow the player to choose the types of encounters by choosing different event cards, which are shuffled so they are randomized. This would still be questing, which CF is really against. But I love the option for...

    I think there is some room for that. My fondest memories in EQ were Plane of Mischief, where the zone was like Alice in Wonderland and the zone had just fun things to play with. There should be seasonal things to add when the time is right - Christmas themed zones and extra snow. Nothing...

    The Dregs will also have the BEST loot available in the game. So there's even more incentive to go there.

    EK is important, you want to go on a campaign? Well the most powerful EK guild can allow you to bring in the BEST weapons besides Dregs and allow you to build fortresses faster. You gain a huge advantage if you have a strong EK. And to those that don't like starting fresh after each...

    This could be solved if you can have multiple characters, or just starting a different archetype.

    From the video, the battles are very dependent on position. So dodging, positioning, and even jumping should be critical to battle. If I had my way, I'd go for about 5-8 keys for action. The trouble is you need another set of buttons for mining/crafting. WoW had way too many hotkeys, but...

    EK will be the auction house for guilds/individuals to sell their wares after campaigns. Assuming a campaign with heavy surplus of let's say "iron", then those people would have a huge market to sell or craft iron specific weapons/gear. This wealth (not sure if there is in game currency)...

    Questions: The MMORPG video shows constant action, which begs the question will there be adequate time for looting and determining what to take (assuming PvP world)? Many games have "in combat" time periods where a character is unable to do certain actions because they are in combat, will...

    FF doesn't make a whole lot of sense right now, you'd have to have spells arc over the melee in front of you. Otherwise there's no reason to have melee in front to protect the casters behind them. The other possibility is that you have very narrow windows to cast spells, which makes things...

    Don't forget your character inventory/talent points are permanent. None of us know the time frame or win conditions that will determine how long a campaign will last. While you could be a powerful caster in the previous campaign because of a huge early advantage, you might try being a stealthy...

    EQ Never

    Wasn't the whole point of voxels so that the community could contribute in very much artists can contribute to Dota2 items? There has to be some idea behind making money for just building things in EQN. Landmark showed me just how shitty the icons of items were and how the UI was horrendous...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Might be the same reason Naxxaramus was a pretty fun in WoW. The progression through each of the elements/wings and the fact that each boss fight was pretty different made the game pretty fun. Keying up wasn't all too fun in the expansions after that... seemed like people got sick of people...

    I think the main thing that will determine how massive or skirmish the PvP will depend on the locations of the resources. If the majority of iron is concentrated in a small area, you will be sure to have many large scale battles. On the other hand, they have already mentioned if you are in...

    They've said that assuming you control a mining area and you are always winning battles, the amount of resources it provides will be turned down. The idea is that if you are are at an advantage, it would be balanced so that you couldn't permanently have that advantage. I don't see how solo...

    DOTA 2

    With only the throne left on dire, Secret should have kept a chen creep and everyone TP into the dire base and face rush the throne. Secret also had very little damage besides Tiny/Wisp. Windrunner and Axe just tickle, while Witchdoctor was the MVP of that game.

    I think for any game we go through the leveling process at first because everything is new. I don't have any issues the first time around because I will feel more powerful as I progress. A person with better gear and player progression should easily own someone who just started. The thing...

    Your character will always be permanent and be stronger over time. You will have to pay a "tax" on materials you gather from campaigns is the only downside.

    That's where some of the campaigns come in. Less loss and risk for people that want more PvE stuff. This is what I'm imagining. The pace of those campaigns will be slower, with more of the traditional farm vs. computer. If you want PvE, there's plenty of games for that. Just play WoW for...

    Crowfall

    As one of the founders has posted, they invested their own money to initially start Crowfall. So you can say they have something invested in it and it must be the reason why the game looks more polished. I do like their approach where they know they will not satisfy all customers, they really...

    If you think about Dota 2, it's mostly cosmetics that the RL assets are flowing into. Nothing really affects gameplay advantage.

    Crafting seems to use very few materials. A 1 handed sword takes 3 metals/1 leather/1 flux/2 additives/and 1 item (couldn't decipher it). Basic metals take 2 ores and an alloy takes 3 ores. If it's anything like Landmark, gathering shouldn't be too difficult.

    I think this is where the player interaction comes in, or I guess where you somehow payoff material farmers? Not sure if this game has a currency. There's also an interesting part where they have mentioned that Thralls are the souls of fallen warriors and craftsmen, does this include...

    Crowfall

    This is one of their great ideas. Imagine if you had a friend starting in the PvP part of the world, at least you could join them (but suffer a few penalties) if you had started in another world. It keeps the game interesting for people who get sick of something after a while without having to...

    I think what they are aiming for is not someone who just stands there casting only heals. There will be classes/spells that will buff friendly targets, but it won't be the sole focus.

    Crowfall

    I think they did this so it gives incentive to retain players on that world. The 3 faction world has lower exports, but have less penalties for deaths, given the 20% chance drop off your equipped items. I think the idea is that different worlds have different risk and would fit people's play...
