Ort posted:There is also hardly any build info out there and, being a pvp mmo, unlikely to have a ton of top tier builds publicly shared, so that’s another reason to play now. Everyone except beta testers are on the same level of knowledge and total noobs so fights may feel more balanced. Yeah but since it literally takes 1-2 hours to level a char to 30 for VIPs, and it's very easy to spot which classes are the best (because they're like twice as good as the poo poo classes) people will be swapping real quick. Also the classes that are good are the least buggy ones. People will naturally leave their poo poo classes behind when they realise how terribly designed they are (and just flatout don't work). hobocrunch fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Jul 8, 2021 |

hobocrunch posted:- There's basically no economy. Which is really kind of sad for this game. The worst feeling is going out and "farming" and not really have any gauge to what you're getting. This feels bad and might be the biggest reason why people quit. (No sense of gaining wealth) I just think it will take time, the thing is that unless they drastically changed direction since I hosed around in the alpha all the good stuff is crafted and the good mats aren't trivial to farm either, so a player driven economy should emerge in time. In fact this might end up becoming sort of fantasy eve online.

Who are you imagining this economy would even be for? Why would you sell raw materials or gear to another guild? I don’t think this game allows you to really succeed as an independent gatherer so I’m having trouble imagining the point of a global economy.

The website outlines their intent as a sort of SWG economy. Good stuff is crafted, good crafting requires interdisciplinary cooperation, and good materials are hard to get. So to make the best armor you need gatherers who have bodyguard players to escort them, some folk specializing in turning those mats into armor components, then your specialist armorsmith putting it all together. Then you can set up vendors in your Eternal Kingdom to sell your output. In theory, you end up with an in game reputation for your quality products, and that drives players to buy from you. How that shakes out in reality has yet to be seen, but at least the idea is sound.

Is it true that all the gear of the same type (cloth, leather, chain, etc.) has the exact same skin? I'm not super into playing dress up but I do like to at least earn some cool looking gear as I play an MMO.

I'm sure that will change by way of microtransactions or not. hobocrunch posted:
When the Guild vs. Guild campaign maps start (the Dregs), then inventory also drops on death in those maps from what I understand.

hobocrunch posted:I've been playing for a week and here's my opinion. I'll just sort of run through everything. The PvP ruleset will vary based on the world. Currently there are only the starter worlds that only have gold loss in the specific areas but some of the rulesets will have full looting. Additionally there will be different rulesets for faction v faction, guild v guild, and free for all. This is info I semi pieced together so it may be outdated or incorrect.

One thing I am confused at is why there are so many servers. I mean, I know that 10 servers isn't a lot compared to WOW or FFXIV or even LOTRO (at least previously), but I'm seeing them all at Light all the time? Wouldn't you want to glom everyone together for a better experience? Overly optimistic? Has anyone reported the player levels from the api or whatever in the days after launch? edit: I guess people are saying 3100 has been the highest pop Campaigns start tomorrow: https://community.crowfall.com/topic/31378-the-nermara-us-east-campaign-is-coming-july-9th/ Cutedge fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Jul 8, 2021 |

I think God's reach is the tutorial servers, and they spin up more automatically based on demand. Campaign worlds are made up of relatively small "islands" that are intended to support I think just a couple hundred players a piece and the starter worlds have just 3 quest islands and a free combat island, with most players being on the free combat island I think.

there's a separate user count at the root that's around 3000, but all the campaign populations added togther don't get near that amount (3k-3.5k), adding all the kingdom populations, all of which are 0 or 1, also doesn't get near that, so i'm curious what it is.

While we haven't been super on the pulse of the game, there have been a few of us that have formed "Something Cawful" guild which should be joinable. We have a ton of dumb pre-order poo poo between us. Post here when you apply and we'll let you in. We also have a discord? This link should work: https://discord.gg/fV9PDA5J

I wonder if the count discrepancy is people just farting around in the login server connected to chat but not in an actual world. From my experience, they are timing out inactive players very quickly in game, but you can sit on the main login screen indefinitely and just be in chat.

Many believed that it was impossible, but last night I managed to finish the horrible 1-25 tutorial thing. What a terrible introduction to the game. If they just summarily removed most of the quests and replaced them with "grind to this level" quests, it'd be a lot easier to stomach. My understanding is that the new campaign starts today so hopefully there will be some good fights.

Am I seeing this right? Every time I die my equipment takes an ~10% durability hit and cannot be repaired? After spending a night running around at 30 with the best gear I could find with 2 people - the combat is really bad and I'm going to uninstall. What a flop.

Yeah there's a big focus on player economy, so permanent damage to drive demand is part of the model. Dregs is, I think, full loot, so, you know. Myrm feels much better than I remember the game feeling combat wise but someone told me it's the best class in terms of not feeling like poo poo and it's barely acceptable, so

Yeah I dont mind player driven economy and disposable weapons but you can rack up 10 deaths an hour just running around trying to pick fights. It takes 2v3 from lets give it a shot to run away, etc. Maybe this works if 'pvp' means bodyguarding loggers or something but its not a system you can just jump into and start fighting. Maybe thats by design idk.

Dipping into blacksmithing now I am amazed at the depth of the crafting system, but also just how much resources are required to make basically anything. Wood to turn into coal, to smelt metal bars which take 18 ore each and at least two bars are required for any component. But different metals give different traits on the components, with different alloys also possible from different ores. A finished piece will take 3-5 components, and at least one of them will come from another discipline like leather working. That one will require meat to turn into thread, to use to refine hide into leather pieces, to use to make the component. Like, there's so much going on, and it's really cool, but you need to really focus on the pack pigs or have a large group focused on gathering to generate enough raw resources to craft in volume.

Mjolnerd posted:its the depth of the SWG crafting system without the SW fans to keep the economy healthy! That's how it's shaping up! In theory you can put a vendor in your EK to sell your output and presumably buy resources. I haven't read anything about being able to control what they buy, just that you can stock them and set the sell price. But even that will require a mason for the building and a geomancer for the land plot, not to mention VIP to make your EK public. Lots of cool good stuff going on overall with crafting, but there needs to be a lot more than 2500 total players to make a real economy work. As it is you're just going to have everyone running around in mixed cloth looted from mobs and starter weapons because crafting is too much of a hassle due to population.

Guilds exists almost entirely to fuel their crafters, aside from sieges and stuff. Without that, there would kind of be nothing to do outside of siege windows and stuff wouldn’t there?

It's worth noting that if you send a guild request outside of the game (web) and it is accepted, the quest for joining a guild will complete but the guild information will not show up anywhere in game until you completely close the game and log back in

Logged into the new dregs campaign, remembered that it's guild-based rather than faction-based. Found out that even though there are guild alliances ,they don't count for the dregs so the goon guild can't really do anything unless a whole lotta people start caring about this game really fast. Found out that the island you have to cross to get into the main campaign area has a queue because a couple big guilds were camping the portals. Well I think that's quite enough of that game.

I think if you had like 5 or 6 serious people who were on every night you could probably do some real poo poo, and that number gets smaller every moment that goes by. But like realistically I'm gonna play 2 or 3 nights a week *if it's good*. This isn't necessarily a problem, being a goofball irregulars brigade for a more serious clan is pretty much the most fun you can have in one of these games. Unless the game makes that impossible for ??reasons??, of course

Isn't there some sort of vassalage or fealty system where your guild can work for a larger one? That would work out okay if there's only a few of us farting around.
