Just checking up on the site. Apparently if you buy the most expensive $435 package you still can only pick 1 reward of 3? Also they seem like they're hiring people but working on stuff like UI bug fixes

There was a number of bugs where you could stack damage resist or haste to 100% meaning you either couldn't take damage or would attack once per server tick (30? times a second). Maybe a year or two more of beta would have saved it. But I can't say that for sure. Its hard to get back to that mindset, but for a long time balance was not considered a "big deal". If you go back far enough to EQ and UO you were considered a bad person for even discussing if a thing or class or whatever was balanced.

Verbose posted:Just checking up on the site. Apparently if you buy the most expensive $435 package you still can only pick 1 reward of 3? Please no one ever invest $435 or even $35 into this project, the 4 hires are to replace the last 4 employees to leave the company, the side project game looks like absolute blurry and generic trash, and now the team that was already 7-8 years behind schedule can say "COVID, due to, working from home!!" for the next decade. It's not gonna happen. This game won't be half of what it promised if they set the release date for 2025. And to justify the bump, though I already got my refund many months ago I've heard from multiple sources that MJ is using the working from home thing as a reason why no one is getting refunds lately. So put your refund request in, and then it's a matter of time before someone can spam him asking why he can't enter the office, as the owner of the company if there's no one else in the building anyway. (Last time someone asked he said his wife used to have breast cancer so entering an empty office with a mask is too dangerous). If this still doesn't make sense I'll remind you: The CEO of the company has for years claimed that no one else at the company should be allowed to issue refunds, because he wants to read each of them personally and make sure no one else is liable for "handling their payment information".

Nerdslayer really soured on me on this game before I even heard of it by doing a video on the 'death' of the original Camelot game except the end of it was actually a big shill for this game so because he apparently worked o nit too. So gently caress him.

It looks like they took a page from  . Where MWO was a functional but incomplete game with PGI failing to kickstart an MMO, the Camelot guys took a nonfunctional and incomplete MMO and funneled the money to a completely different game  quote:If FS:R is the success we hope it to be, even more people will be hired to work on CU only and your turn to see your game go LIVE will be shorter than you fear it to be.

Original DAOC exists today through freeshards yes, but a modern MMO that uses today's technology built on RvR/PvP as it's foundation is what he's referring to. But that's not going to happen anytime soon so I'll just continue to play DAOC Phoenix and whatever other dead MMO I want until somehow a developer releases a new MMO that exceeds expectations.

Would like to see the misguided marketing research that suggested turning this into a battle royale would go over well with the very niche audience that cares about Camelot Unchained and the only group that even knows of its existence.

I mean, you really think this second game bullshit is anything more than just a future excuse to use (and they are literally copying this strategy already used by another failed kickstarter MMO) for the inevitable game cancelation or disillusioned thinking this could be a way to generate 'more funding' somehow? There's no marketing research that would suggest what they're doing is validated, there's no market research period.

I would too. My first impression was they were trying to jump on the current big genre band wagon using current art assets to sell some boxes and generate revenue, but the MOBA band wagon left the station about 10 years ago. Even the thing that replaced it, battleground shooters is getting stale. Then again expecting someone who has been developing MMOs for the past 20+ years like Mark Jacobs to be familiar with current trends in video gaming might be asking a bit much.

At least for me. I really like the RvR on DAOC and the diffrent classes but when i install Phoenix and start to play, the clunky movement and the graphics and small fonts just makes me uninstall. I understand the game is 100 years old, and ive gotten a character to level 15, but i lose intrest way to quick. That and i didn't play DAOC from launch till now. Never touched it except for a few times with Phoenix.

I miss DAoC's infiltrator gameplay. Positional attacks, chains, and poisons were fun to manage. Haven't found anything quite like it but also can't stand how clunky it is all these years later.

daoc always feels super bad after not playing it for a long time. For me though, oddly enough it starts to feel "right" after a week or so of playing, provided I'm not playing anything else.

I guess the people at Mythic are happy the way it is.

I think Broadsword is like 3 guys now, and like most old games the most you can do is tack stuff on and change numbers. Fundamentally changing any of the core game would be impossible. It was like 3 patches after they introduced the premium currency for cosmetic crap that it even showed up properly on your currency window. The F2P addition didn't bring player numbers up at all. The only people still playing DAoC are the ones that have been playing it off and on for the past 20 years. As long as the players don't start crashing servers to dupe poo poo(which is why they decided to shut down Asheron's Call instead of keeping it running indefinitely), it should keep chugging along for many more years. If Phoenix would start running a seasonal model it would have massive continued success. Hopping into RvR and smashing your face into RR10-12 groups is not fun when a server has been running for a year or 2.

Yeah it took about 10 deaths in the PvP event on Phoenix at lvl 1 to get back into the game. For those first 20 minutes I was like what the gently caress am I doing, now I have temped 50 Healer trying to find a guild to 8-man. I never played much of DAOC much like Warhammer when I started up on Return of Reckoning.

This is one of the issues I think with bringing folks to live. if you're really going to start playing daoc and go to live you're looking at a sheer cliff of learning mechanics, many of which are not documented anywhere consistently. They've ( live ) have done well with the kings gear and other htings to smooth the ramp up, but once you hit 50 and start to look at RVR i would not want to be walking into that without many years of experence behind me.
