according to some of the comments it looks like the guy who made this video actually downloaded the wrong client and is playing on the wrong server because of it lol not that I believe that would make any difference, just something to note is all.

Everyone is testing on the test servers as that is where the new features are. Here are a few short clips to show what the game looks like right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONt9MW4Y_60 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDMGOs6U4co They seem to be making the cardinal sin with stealthers being OP though.

Looks like 2 tanks(?) ganked some guy, then 2 dps classes killed them while weakened from the first fight. i was expecting some OP stealth gank, but that seemed pretty fair?

Mjolnerd posted:hmmm, from both of those videos, I don't really get that impression. Sorry my stealth comment was separate from the videos. I am not playing but have 5-10 guild members who are (those in the videos). From what they've said the game is finally starting to come together. Most complaints I see are about stealthers, and performance still isn't good with large groups. I can definitely say the game isn't a scam game and while progress has been slow they are finally putting the final pieces together before its a feature complete beta. The live vs test thing I have never understood but live is generally supposed to be the more stable version of the game. I think it will make more sense once further along where most will play on live instead of test.

Here is a campaign end screen for 'Dregs' which is a Guild vs Guilds campaign. Dregs is characterized as guild-v-guild, and they are working on the alliance system and how it will interact with points.  The other campaign that seems fleshed out is called "Infected" which is the traditional three way Realm vs Realm vs Realm. Going back to the Lazy Peon video I asked guild mates how long it takes to get to lvl 30 to actually participate in the PvP stuff and they say it only takes an hour so I have no idea what that guy was doing besides playing on the wrong server.

IDK, having a tutorial that explains how to use the features that are complete seems to make sense to me since there's videos of people who have no drat clue what they are doing and then they just quit.

Yeah, I mean features may not be completely polished, but the basic gameplay mechanics should already be cemented this far in. When you first log in there is no intuitive or instructed pointer for what you should be doing, working toward, nothing whatsoever.

I still don't understand how the crowfall world works is it just like one giant battleground people fight in or is there a open world also you can run around in like shadowbane?

So far it's one time purchase only. However, there's also a VIP membership status if you pay monthly with some benefit that hasn't been revealed yet. But wait there's more! you can also purchase crowbux and buy cosmetic upgrades to your mount n poo poo...

Yea I mean everything about the game is a horrible user experience. There were, however, shortcuts and bindable macros - you just had to right click the skills. As far as the solved game thing goes - most people playing are dumb as hell and honestly good teamwork usually wins over whatever optimal thing people think they are doing. Game is terrible though, don't play it.
