Crowfall

Yes I know that this game will be centered around PvP but is there any chance of having some cool zones ala Unrest/Karazhan/whatever for us carebears to dungeon crawl every once and a while?

That would be awesome. If nothing else for low level resource harvesting if you didn't feel like making a run through PvP lands that day. Not sure that's in their design docs though.

Draegan, only 20 minutes in - but I have to say, it's already the best interview with the Crowfall dev's I've seen yet. Great job dude.

Totally agree. Most in depth interview I've heard on the game and most informative. Also makes me feel like the devs truly get it.

Nope. It's all about resource control, building, crafting, and fighting people.

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 gameplay wise needs to change, just the scenary of the environment would be nice. The "newness" of having to explore something new and different is what people love.

Great interview! The numerous "we don't know" responses is expected due to it being so early in development. It sounds like they have a solid handle of the genre, the pitfalls/problems that occur, and have some great ideas on how to change it up. Execution or implementation is a whole other piece of the puzzle so I wish them the best and can't wait to see the progress.

Plenty of other MMOs for you to dungeon crawl through and kill mobs in.

PRobably very little of the world will be anything unique like unrest, PoM etc.

Plus, worlds are being generated. Seems silly to ask for some awesome handcrafted zone when it basically goes against their entire design goals/philosophy.

Just listened to it, fantastic work Draegan

yeah just finished it myself, pretty good.

He's the Casey Anthony of dads...leaving his kid to cry like that.

They probably shouldn't devote resources to this unless its a far out stretch goal, its just a shame we haven't seen the concept of Darkness Falls in DAoC since, unless I'm missing it somewhere.

I guess Wintergrasp in WoW, but that sucked.

Lots of hand-made content with nameds that drop special loot and the like doesnt fit their model.

However, I do hope that their random world generator includes indoor areas such as caves, crypts, old ruins etc. That's both a way to hide/sneak forces through unsafe areas and a likely tier0 "base" to make crude swords and makeshift armor before you can actually strike out and build a town. Unless we are supposed to just plop down a forge and anvil on an open field and think it'll be safe long enough to create equipment and the town around it. They could also contain valuable resources.
