Interesting (I thought anyway) article on branding and creation of Crowfall logo.

I found it interesting that so much creative effort is spent on such uninspired, derivative work.

Welcome to Hollywood.

The name branding should also be easily transferable to ridicule in case your game fails to achieve it's desired sustainable playerbase: Crowfell, Crowfailed, CrowfallenandIcantgetup, etc.

Not saying it will, but at least it's got that built-in branding right off.

I think that's one of the reasons SWTOR never actually caved. TORtanic was a dumb-ass burn.

Druid in action (Tyrant said she would be in game next week)

Grab my balls you idiots!

Wasnt the ball healing idea kind of a mess for monk in WoW? I legitimately don't know myself, but I had heard it kind of sucked.

I think the monk dropped the ball where he stood. This is at least targeted somewhat. It worked in Tera pretty well. I do at least hope they are in the world as objects and can be destroyed by enemy fire/physics. Might have to long into Test once the druid gets into the alpha.

I forgot Tera used the mechanic, it did work well there.

Druid is live.

Also, the first "Trusted Trader" program is live....ability to buy/sell accounts.

'CROWFALL LIVE!' BROADCAST JUNE 27
Wednesday June 15th, 2016
Mark the date: June 27th, 2016 down on your calendar - for our first-ever Crowfall 12-hour livestream!

It's an exciting time for us here at ACE as we begin to transition from our "modular" testing approach (Hunger Dome, Siege Perilous) to building the MMO proper. We've been working on a bunch of new features creating the framework for the core systems (like harvesting and crafting and parcels) that have been on the back burner. We figured a 12-hour live stream from our office would be a fun way to show off our new tricks.

We will start the broadcast on twitch.tv/Crowfall at 8 am Central (Austin) time on Monday, June 27. We promise new updates every hour, on the hour-including a couple of big announcements, tech demos, cool content and design reveals. and a full day of developer chats, Q&As, "Beat-the-Dev" playtests (see the playtest schedule here) and hourly prize giveaways!

Whether you're new to Crowfall OR you've been with us since Kickstarter, this show is for you!

We hope you'll join us for at least a portion of the broadcast and see what's next for Crowfall! You don't want to miss the announcements and unveilings we do during this livestream!

Doing a reality show is something they should of been doing all along.

Been enjoying the Druid in the hunger dome module tests. Was wondering what two other games / classes were referred to as in regards to the myrmidon / Minos archetype coming next.

" wouldn't really call his style, mitigation. It's much more unique than that, (seen something somewhat similar to it in 2 games I can think of) and requires a considerable amount of skill to pull it off."

Today is the 12 hour livestream event.

They are giving away game access every hour or so...fyi.

Edit: They are offering the packages on Sale today..in case anyone is on the fence

Tempting but I can't watch at work, I'd check it out if I won a giveaway but I've been burned too many time son pre-releases to throw cash at this. I want to see a finished product before I make a decision.

They are doing the giveaways at the top of each hour, fyi.

(So far they have been packages.)



First 2 hours they have shown much better graphic enhancements coming, announced Euro partner, and have shown land parcel and castle designs.

Let me know if they discuss changes to combat. It feel too much like tab target with aiming.
