there's not an ongoing early access beta or anything iirc. if you drop hundreds of dollars you can get into bad tech demo alphas though :homebrew:

To find people's breaking point with unwinnable situations people quit moba games 10 minutes in if they see it going south. I cannot see how you could rig it in such a way that would force people to continue to compete in lost causes which wouldn't either make people quit because they are getting spawn camped or make people quit because no matter how hard they are winning the game doesn't actually let them win.

The only thing that will stop deathblob guilds from controlling entire shards is having staging limits which will alienate and anger the hardcores who run the deathblobs by preventing them for actually being able to utilise their full force.

There are just fundamental problems with a game like this which happen every time someone tries to make one and I fail to see how they aren't something in the inherent makeup of open pvp mmos.

you've framed the issue with full loot pvp mmos exactly. if you try to stop the blobs from blobbing, they leave. once they leave, the deathspiral of "cant find anyone" starts. if you let the blobs exist, the solo minded and self-imposed smaller sized groups leave. the blobs have nothing to kill, they leave.

That being said, I'm actually excited for Crowfall because the developers seem to actually comprehend the challenges of scale and have answered the issue of a design level (the little sharded campaign poo poo which the name of escapes me right now) rather than making overblown impossible to fulfill "one big world" promises like every other Kickstarter mmo.

i was with you until this section. the cf devs still want massive worlds but they will be sharded. unless they recently scaled back from the 200+ per shard

It's no shock to me that publishers would turn down a full loot PVP focused MMO. We haven't had a successful one in over a decade unless you count Day Z. The mainstream market wants to watch numbers climb not see gear lost.

For the love of all that is holy, I really hope they stick with the full loot plan. I don't know why Shadow babe decided to change it right before launch.

its because full loot mmos always end in a scenario where new or returning players are quickly devoured and quit while vets complain no one is playing and quit

friends, id love to see campaign resets solve the establishment circlejerk decline of full loot mmos. i bet 30 bucks on it, too.

i fear that while it has a shot at solving it, it brings its own problems like FPS sore loser syndrome. example: one week into campaign 34 leetdudebros guild with about 100 people goes up against cheetosniffers with roughly 80. leetbros arent quite as coordinated and lose their first decisive battle. cheetos win and the majority of leetbros go 'welp, #34 is a bust, we'll be back for 35!" meanwhile cheetosniffers go on unopposed and crush all the smaller groups

repeat until everyone joins a zerg or stops playing. even if there are strong incentives to keep competing, once the game has been out for a few months we will all know what the benefits of struggling against the established powers in a campaign will be and where the 'worth it' cutoff is. there's no game mechanics that prevent people from solving this equation
