I logged in for less than a minute today. Just couldn't bring myself to want to play. I'm going to wait for Dregs and Guild vs Guild

Supposedly this is the last major release before polish+bug fixing and then "soft launch" = no wipes release.

Personally I think it's kind of shit. Not hardcore enough for me as a Shadowbane player and not enough good PvE content for me as an Everquest player. If you like doing Guild vs Guild zergs it's probably ok but I'm more into roleplaying as a bandit and backstabbing people who are trying to do PvE content for their loot.

The game is officially in beta as of Tuesday but I'm not sure if I give enough of a shit to play. If anyone from here wants to play hit me up and maybe that will motivate me. Honestly I'm more interested in Pantheon at this point. Pantheon feels like our only hope for a decent MMO now.

I tried the beta or whatever it was. September or was it August? I dunno man. What have they been doing all this time? It's just soo outdated. I suppose it will find its audience. Very niche.

By the time this launches, Ashes of Creation might be playable to backers and New World will certainly have launched. Doesn't really stand a chance and Camelot Unchained even less so.

supposedly launch this year

I wouldn’t be worth my salt if I didn’t at least ask about release. Leading up to this update, you’ve mentioned that the team still has launch planned for this year – is that still the case?

Coleman: Yes, we’re very close now. The team has (mostly) shifted from adding new things to the game to fixing bugs and achieving the level of polish that we need for launch. We have a few more things coming, but the game is nearing – well, I can’t say “completion” because it’s an MMO and these games are never done. The game is nearing the point where we will wipe the database for the final time and transition from “in development” to “live.”

This is a great way to make a promise that will seal the fate of the project.

Plan ahead for data wipes and seasons and such so that corrections can be made!

good interview, the ideas seem ok, i wonder how they'll be implemented.

what? x 1

I played the beta of Crowfall, maybe it could grow into something in a year or three but for now it is low budget jank that doesn't know if it wants to be an MMO or a MOBA and is designed like ass. It feels like a mod for some other game that never got designed properly (like MOBAs). It has all the tedium of an MMO like running huge distances, grinding for xp, buying and selling stuff from towns every 5 minutes, etc... And none of what made real MMOs good. It has the typical MOBA columbine massacre playerbase, and a design that makes sense only to those sorts of people. Wish I didn't waste my time. YMMV.

Looks like someone ran out of money and needs to put this shit out a year or two before it's ready

Crowfall will never be ready. I'm pretty sure the original idea is flawed to its core. I can't believe I actually bought this shit a couple of years ago

Game released today. I haven't had time to give it a shot. It's probably still shit.

I was playing it for a couple hours today before my power supply shit the bed. Can't comment on the PvP because I'm still in the tutorial at level 16 but the launch was super smooth and lots of people playing.

It's a guild game, and he plays it like any other single player mmo never joined dregs which is main PVP campaing. Crowfall has a lot of problems, but the base game is really good and has a lot of potential. You just need to find active guild for game to open up.

Review which is way better than the one from peon:

Doubt TheLazyPeon plays anything for more than ten minutes before shitting out his awful first impression videos. He couldn't come up with a more fitting name if he tried. Saw his "The Elder Scrolls Online revisited in 2021" video he did a couple weeks ago and he was only CP130 despite "covering" the game for seven years on an annual basis. Out of curiosity I browsed his channel and none of his characters in anything are at a decent level.

Not saying he's obligated to play anything in particular but you'd think he'd have a high level character in something given that his whole channel is about MMOs and it sucks that he's considered a major personality on the subject.
