Dunno... money and a lack of decent options? At either rate, having Gordon calling the shots pretty much negates any good that Blair brings to the table...

Because the game industry isn't a job market that favors the employee. You kind of take what you can get and do the best you can, especially if it's even remotely good.

looks decent other than some delay/lack of smoothness between the character animation and the projectile

If they can make all the abilities that neat, and have physical character interaction be meaningful, which seems to be the holy grail of RvR games systems for some reason, it might end up pretty neat. There's so much to navigate between some cool VFX and a good game though. It says volumes that I expect Mark fuckin' Jacobs to make a better RvR game at this point than these guys.

Way too early to make assumptions like that. These guys have made plenty of MMOs anymore, they probably know how to make a decent looking engine, models, and animations. I'm sure the game will look pretty good when it comes out. Making a game actually good is far more difficult.

I think it has a fighting chance, if only becase I enjoyed Shadowbane so much, but I'm not getting my hopes up until I personally play the beta.

Let me elaborate:

Do we know when some sort of alpha phase is planned?

On a separate note -- now that Eonwe is in charge of Star Citizen we may see him around here less than usual.

All we know is there's a combat test coming in the next few months if everything goes well. It's going to be a rough multiplayer combat sort of thing in a greyboxed castle environment. The available classes will be Knight, Confessor, and Centaur Legionnaire. It's mostly to test the really basic login/server stuff as well as the combat mechanics and abilities.

So ACE started selling a 'limited edition!' t-shirt with a run of 1000 through shopify.

Unfortunately, they did not appear to ask for anyone's Crowfall accountname as part of the ordering process. The solution? Sending an email to the 60 or so people who had ordered them so far, thereby sharing the email addresses and names of everyone had ordered the shirt to eachother.

Good job, ACE.

(As a bonus, someone actually replied all with their accountname)

It's like you fuckers have selective literacy the moment you want to be clever. I said in that very post that the gap between Looks Good and Is Good is huge, you don't need to remind me of it.

Apparently you can "consume" your pledge package to open it up and then you can trade stuff (or maybe trading isn't in yet)??

S'arigh. I'd love for one of these mass PvP games to work out, GW2 has been filling that need well enough the last three years, but it's a pale shadow and I don't really trust either team to be of sufficient competence.

To their credit, we at least have some games coming that are actually focusing solely on PvP and not trying to shoehorn it in amongst a bunch of PvE stuff. I think the chances are slightly higher that we'll get something workable at some point.

some vids with centaur

but what got me :eyepop: was barrels

so we're starting a barrelpost. I think we can get away with it because it's technically on topic so if you want to go more in depth about barrel mechanics instead of the centaur, please do so

I strongly encourage this if you're bored enough to shitpost on the forums but get away with it :3:

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
It is hard for me to work up the effort to make fun of this game anymore. I think I'll try back when they have the first real gameplay tests.

Honestly if this is darkfall UW the second and it's got a somewhat competitive launch I'll probably feel I got my 30$ worth. I enjoyed both darkfalls and those were developmental trainwrecks.
