2 short of a campaign makes the whole idea of winter is coming worthless. Maybe for some campaigns that could be good but not for all.

You should treat winter and the seasons as more like something that comes to push a bogged down campaign to an end state rather then a distinct season you would want to wait for to play in.

Have they said how big the world will be? They really need to have a massive world where travel means something so many factions and guilds can try to carve out a section for themselves. Conquering a campaign can't be something that can be accomplished by gathering up everyone and spending 10 minutes running to one end of the map to another.

I don't remember them saying what the maximum world size could be but it's definitely one of the "knobs" they can control and fiddle around with.

They haven't committed to anything. They are still working on trch and world builders.

The best spies are people who want to join your guild and you tell them to spy for the rest of the campaign and you can join us in the next one.

From my experience in a FFA environment communities will solidify into two distinct groups. Who is in each of these two groups will change quickly, but generally there will be two groups. And if the games' rules allow for it and the field is level, once one group gains an upper hand they will obliterate the other group. Morale is super important and most people are pussies, or more correctly, most people only have fun when they are winning and won't play a game they aren't having fun in.
One group will be Goons, who try to ruin the game for everyone else and the other group will be a collection of independent alliances needing to band together to actually counter Goons.

Hopefully it will be fun in the playing not just the winning. I still think the influence map that Eve has is friggen amazing. Not enough to get me to play but as something to think about I admire the shit out of Eve. Sad thing is most games worry about their systems and bells and whistles but tend to forget that how the game plays is what people will interact with the most. If it is not fun to kill that mob for the 1000th time then what?

The knight combat was really bland, I wish they had saved it for when they had more skills available, even the chain pull or something. The shield slam was really the only interesting animation I saw, I found jump underwhelming.


I like where the UI is headed seems pretty minimalist and similar to Tera with the key to activate mouse mode.

Well here's what I see when I look at the animations and the UI. Nothing fancy, it's another generic Unity game. But these guys built this game with less than 2.25 million so far. When you take that into consideration I think it looks pretty good. And it always makes me wonder how the hell Schilling could have spent all that money and come up empty handed.

I want total control over my UI. I can not stand wasted space taken up by things like portraits. Let me skin it resize it and move it at will.

Personally I dislike the knight animations because he is dancing about way too much for someone that's supposed to be using a shield. The lancer class in Tera did a shield class much better.

Maybe. The SA forum is much less populated these days, and we've fought the Goon Squad in several PvP MMOs (Not Eve though!) and they haven't been an immense or even insiduous force like some people treat them. I treat them with the same respect I treat any large and aggressive guild, but they usually break up within a few months of release and don't accomplish much.

There will be a lot of pre-release shit talk about which guilds are going to do what, and that's part of the fun. What I'm glad about is that there won't be any cross-server shit talk about which guilds would beat whom if they were on the same server. That was such a blessing in GW2, even though it existed across NA/EU servers until we went to Europe and beat the #1 server off their pedestal.

I doubt there was much of shit talk from Vizunah since 99% of french players didn't know PRX at all before you came on SFR.

Man, there are people on the official backers forums that think Crowfall is some type of zombie survival game.

They spent 2500+ to get access to those forums and now they are up in arms about it not being what they expected when they pledged. I mean how the fuck...

Well.... they are going to have some zombies. And Winter is coming! Along with PRZ, maybe we can get Tuco to train them to shuffle and mutter brainssss..

Well have to understand man, survival zombie kickstarter/early access games you can put large amounts of money in are so rare nowadays, they're right to be disapointed.
