To them you are right, to me, I want to be known as a skilled player, for people to fear me when I enter an area. To see chat filters light up as everyone flees. I also want know who killed me and how the hell did he get the jump on me. I need this. Period.

Then earn it. DAOC did it right and the more time you spent on the battlefield it was easy to tell who was who. Having an external scoreboard like The Camelot Herald was huge to help facilitate this too.

Make no mistake I agree on the philosophy behind not just being an anonymous figure out there but I'm sure we can do better than just slapping a nameplate up there.

ok sure, but did you play Shadowbane ? I must be in the minority but Coleman created a world where I enjoyed the best guild vs guild / city-nation building / open pvp mmorpg experience to date. I just find it laughable people would question his judgement in developing a pvp game.

Go back to when the Pantheon kickstarter first launched and you will literally find this exact thing said about Brad only replace pvp with pve. What have these people done since Shadowbane? Not saying they can't create an epic game but I wouldn't put entire faith based on one game.

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.

Thanks. I could have a few beers with those dudes and talk MMOs for hours.

Everyone feel free to spam that on your own social media and other forums you go on.

Already did.

Same here, great job man. Enjoyed it immensely.

Fuck this NAMEPLATES TODAY OR BOYCOTT! Grab the pitchforks and shit!

being able to behead enemy players and put their heads on pikes would be so amazing.

edit: can only see them using a skill training queue with the vip version. would be a massive reason to actually subscribe.

Also about partially through the video. Good questions, good interview. Definitely top notch interview. You guys really appeared professional and kept everything relevant. Sure I didn't get the details I wanted but their game isn't there yet and either or they. Looking forward to future interviews as the game develops.

Glad to hear he's a lurker. He may not feel comfortable posting but hope we get a couple of design guys posting if ACE allows.

Nice interview, Draegan - cool listening to some other old fuckers talking about MUDs. I lost a lot of hours (months?) in ArcticMUD, JediMUD, and MUME.

Real solid interview. Started out listening to it in the background and ended up fully engaged in it.

Thanks Draegan was a good watch. At the beginning (first 10 min) he was using a number of talking points he had used in previous interviews I had seen in this thread; but later on you got him to branch out quite a bit.

Nice job, Draegan. Great stuff so far

Good interview.

Nice work looking like a tomato Draegan Nar seriously, top interview.

I'll give GAF a link.

Nod, one difference, and correct me if I am wrong, but I am fairly sure Brad never developed a current mmorpg with over 50 million player base as late as 2014 and player's choice award for game of the year from MMORPG in 2012 with another game. Coleman has come a log way from the early days of pre ubi Wolfpack.

Hey each his own and what not I just had a hard time not thinking it was silly people would take their ball and go home over nameplates as well as question the dev teams focus on pvp knowing their track history in terms of what Shadowbane meant to me as someone who only plays mmorpgs for the pvp. I think we have an opportunity here with ArcCraft to experience something new and special. The same opportunity Wolfpack created with Shadowbane. Sure Shadowbane wasnt perfect, and perhaps I am the only one that feels this way, but the player created conflict and pvp was something positively unique that I havent encountered since in a mmorpg to date. These guys want to build upon the success and parts that worked in Shadowbane evolving the genre in Crowfall. That's enough for me...but in the end I get that mmorpg players have a right to be skeptical with the amount of force fed shit we have had over the the last decade.

Great interview Dreagan
