Oh sorry. I am just pointing out its not on an Unreal engine or anything. I don't know if when they say they're building their own, they are re-using anything, or from the ground up. But its also not Gamebryo, that's a plus.

The screenshot with water that looks exactly identical to camelot's repeated square water texture makes me think they could of reused something from the old days, but I have no idea really.

Erev posted:From what I've seen it looks like half the people planning to play are planning on going Viking - Goon or otherwise. That'll be a hard snowball to stop. TDD seems to be in the middle ground with the Arthurians bringing up the rear. Invariably, Arthurians are the "good" guys. In most games there is an influx of noobish players who pick them, as the "elites" go to other factions, but eventually all those factions collapse under the weight of the "good guy" faction constantly having the numbers to run objectives over and people don't want to miss out on the loot train. I personally have no problem with this. I will push goons to go that faction because medium/long term it's always the best solution in games like this. Vikings "look" cool and have a nice aesthetic that a lot of Skyrim players will flock to, but at the end of the day when the chips are down 3-6 months after release, the zerg faction will be Arthurians. Goons do best in a faction like this where skill doesn't matter in the face of huge numbers. I've learned from experience that goonionism is a hammer to smash poo poo with, not a surgical knife.

I wonder what effect it would have on the population numbers if you showed the % of players on each side at any given moment when someone went to choose, would people try to keep it 33%/33%/33% or would it cause everyone to join one faction if that faction had a larger %, like 50%/25%/25%. Another problem with population balance is if one side just isn't as developed as the other sides, Hibernia always suffered from low populations because they were plagued by brokenly weak classes/confusing horse routes/long walk to reach PvP/towns that were just copy pasted/harder PvE/dungeons that did their best to murder you whenever possible with strong roaming enemies. I'm not sure if the blademaster ever became *good* and I swear hibernia dungeons compared to the other two sides were all designed to murder the players as often and brutally as possible with how much stuff roamed around in them.

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure the dungeons were all the same. They just changed the type and level of the mobs.

I know some of the cave dungeons in hibernia were copy/pasted from other sides, but I'm pretty sure the tomb of muire in hibernia was unique to hibernia, the lowest level dungeon and my memories of it involved it being filled with people and you had to wade through graves in every corridor and deal with the patrolling bosses.

We never had pbaoe groups for catacombs it was pretty much pulling one at a time. Never made it to lvl 50 on that guy. I leveled 2 more Albion characters to lvl 50 in shrouded isles, both times with pbaoe groups. The grind dungeon was so much better in shrouded isles since it was more open and easier to navigate throughout. I think Albion had a pbaoe class not many people liked to be or something because we did not have alot of them.

One of the best leveling strategies for Hib was using Enchanters and somehow just absolutely cranking the damage shield on their pet. I dunno how they did it exactly, but I remember you could get a bub an hour 40+ in Bog of Cullen at the Siabra queen camp. You could fill 3 groups reliably on that camp too.

they had to have their tank pet out, buffs from a druid, a warden help but iirc wasn't needed, and they had to be in a horrible spec to get that enchant buff. I tried doing the same thing with spiritmasters after they were buffed. Before this buff, midguard had no pbaoe. Then spirit masters got it and got pet buffs like intercept, and that owned.

I still think that the Vikings will be the most populous group - the whole 'Viking' thing has really gone mainstream in the last few years whereas the whole 'King Arthur/knights in shining armor' thing has sort of gone the way of the Western. People like their medieval and fantasy worlds to be a bit darker and crapsack now (which isn't a bad thing). Still, I won't argue with more people joining me on the Arthurian side!

People like their medieval and fantasy worlds to be a bit darker and crapsack now (which isn't a bad thing). Yeah, but I think it's about the long game. Arthurians I predict will become the dominate faction. The fighter reveal revealed Arthurians as having Black Knights as well which tells me 1) It's likely Arthurians will have a darker aesthetic and 2) It seems to be an EXTREMELY mitigation/shield based subclass, if Arthurians get a heavy defensive (Paladin) style healer their zerg will be EXTREMELY hard to beat. and 3, this looks cool:   I WILL UPDATE THE OP COMPLETELY ONCE ALL CLASSES ARE DONE.Also, look at the kind of group abilities BK's get: quote:Fear Us THE PLATE WALL LIVES ON.

Which sounds like a lot of fun and gives racial choice a lot of meaning -- however will likely be a nightmare to balance, just like DAoC.

If they're making Arthurians dark I don't see the Norse folk being the pretty option. As for your second question: if they don't gently caress it up, hell yeah let's bomb some carriages.

We clearly need to be the side with the hottest 10 year olds, if we are going to recapture the magic of Archeage's peado drama. I nomninate KaneTW as paedo guild leader and the Irish clearly have the race most resembling a hot six year old.

I'm really impressed with the aesthetic direction they are going with their classes. They are really out there and very far from the standard Warrior/Cleric/Wizard trio. Off course that's all flavor and in-game they might play similarly. I really hope the character customization/specialization to tailor make the abilities of your character to your preferences are as good as they seem like right now. I really like the Boons&Banes management. Besides from the very early Alpha I haven't logged in anymore. I am not worried about bugs and blandness for playtesting, is there any fun to be had right now or is there not yet much of a game to play?
