I agree with the things you're saying, but I also think that MMOs are making a general shift away from the grind/leveling experience because developers realize that 95% of content for most people exists at the level cap, and they need to jam that cap full of activities that are fun because a lot of the current MMO demographic doesn't want to grind for the sake of grinding anymore.

IF (big if) Crowfall can have fun PVP campaigns with enough carry over to make character development interesting, it will be a fun game. It also will depend on how much the Crowfall devs encourage political intrigue like CCP does with EVE. Unfortunately, we won't know either of these things for a good while. :/

I'm more concerned that Crowfall's engine/architecture won't allow for lag-free large scale PVP.

They *claim* it can handle it fine, but I don't know how you can eliminate lag and high pings from say, Europe to a US datacenter effectively in massive battles. Didn't SOE struggle and pour crazy money into figuring this out in PS2 and still couldn't quite nail it?

It's my understanding that they're just using the standard unity 5 engine; is this no longer the case?

I don't think there's a best case scenario when one spends $175 for a video game.

Someone on the forums called him out for that and he made a big elaborate explanation of how it happened and how he realizes it was horrid, and basically how Crowfall is his way of apology. We'll see how that shakes out.

Well, this isn't his second chance to 'get things right'. His second chance was implementing the crap system that was in SWTOR, which was shockingly similar to SWG. So I guess he thought the CU was a pretty good idea if he's done it twice now?

Of course he's saying these things now, because they need money in order to do whatever it is that they're doing. They might end up doing something good, they might not. At either rate, I'm not going to blindly give money to two dudes who have consistently implemented bad game designs into MMOs.

This guy knows what he's talking about too: http://community.crowfall.com/index.php?/topic/13382-i-kalus-konkwest/

He's been gaming since he was 5 years old on an old apple 2d with a monochrome monitor. He's literally seen and done it all, and is an expert on experts. Oh wait, his only real MMO experience is in CoX (lol) and Eve... the one game where goons (somehow) did good in :iiam:

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

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?

These are all really good submissions. According to the splinter goon discord channel tally (come on guys, just need 5 more members for the t-shirts!) the polls are currently shaping up as follows:

Goons Really Against Puns Eternally (G.R.A.P.E.) - 72 votes
Goons Against Puns Eternally (G.A.P.E.) - 72 votes

A pretty shocking tie right now... don't have much time left to determine whether you hate, or REALLY hate puns!
