I sold my 2015 gold patron for $10 less than what it's worth. Assuming someone has a bronze/silver/gold or amber Kickstarter pledge at the early bird price, I'll buy it off you at cost via PayPal.

Jesus dude, I burned like a decent chunk of cash on this and never regretted it, I only like to pretend to regret it because it's funny to pretend :argh: at things because I don't get upset and I don't get why people get so easily upset about things but okay

but you backed in, then backed out, and now you want to burn back in? What's going on here friend, do you need help?

Anshex will buy your gold kickstarter packages for $25 more than the early bird price and amber kickstarter packages for $35 more than the early bird price so if you can get people to sell them to you for the early bird price it's a nice easy flip

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

the establishment thing

thats why crowfall goes further and resets the world

the campaign times are going to vary and so are the rulesets, such as full loot

i think it will work out as long as they dont fragment everything so crazily to cater to everyone possible, especially carebears

what was cool was being able to harvest and stuff, i did a bit of it but it really does show promise


i can see a lot of dedicated goon projects to gathering resources to build forts and controlling lands and areas this way. Trees disappear when you harvest them, rocks too, etc. And you can take those resources to building like lumber mills or an outpost.

It just needs some optimization and its still pretty rough

is this game going to be good... or bad?

its up in the air, but pre-alpha has been promising as far as mmo/pvp mechanics go, as unoptimized as it is

if it helps, the lead designer sees it as his white whale project so they have more creative license rather than getting dogged by a marketing branch of like Sony, which a few of them who worked on SWG actually got shafted by (lol daybreak)

its best to remain cautiously optimstic, agreed.

How do I break it to these guys that "campaigns" are instances?

its like opting into a board game while anothe group are playing another board game

instances would be much smaller, like dungeons and lobbies in mmos

is the distinction that important? the game world is an instance, a part in a game world is an instance. everything is instanced and illusion made up by our senses. namaste

apparently it is if instances has such a negative connotation for some reason :shrug:

2DCAT posted:

Does crowfall allow me to flip the proverbial board game when I start to lose as well? More importantly, can I play as a thimble, or do i have to pay extra in the cash shop for that?

well yea, the campaign ends. thats the thing. everything gets a clean slate and the world "dies" and then a new one takes place. you just set up a new board p much

some will have different rulesets and durations etc.

This is one of the main things I loved about Shadowbane and points I mention to people not familiar with it. It was perfectly viable to build a scout that sucked at combat but was good at scouting. It was also mandatory that nearly every group, including farming or leveling groups had a scout, and that scout was never expected to participate in combat. Their primary job was to scout.
I'm really hoping they can re-create that environment, no other game has.

that sounds really great and part of the initial sell for me 2 years ago, and i can't believe its been 2 years

im cautiously optimistic about this and feel that Todd would definitely retain the spirit and to go above and beyond those old shadow bane mechanics without fundamentally changing it, only enhancing it would probably be amazing in itself
