Yes MJ seems willing to put his reputation and his own cash on the line, but no that doesn't change the fact that this game is really going to struggle to be relevant or interesting or 'news' by the time it actually comes out. If you're banking on subscription fees to make your money back and end up seven years behind, the game is going to come out right when they hit the bottom of the piggy bank. Without a friendly billionaire or selling off another 30% of the company, how will it be marketed? Nobody talks about it anymore.

Without a friendly billionaire or selling off another 30% of the company, how will it be marketed? Nobody talks about it anymore. To be fair nobody talks about it anymore because there's about six people left posting in the DAoC thread, the games closest analogues both have RvR modes that most people don't even care about and those that do have immense problems with it and all the people who are super bought into the CU dream are elsewhere. I will fully grant that having the same timeline as Star Citizen (KS: 2012) is not a great look, but those six years were spent making a game engine that I will personally attest to working with a huge number of clients with very little slowdown or lag. Will that be enough to draw the crowds they need to keep it afloat once it's a real boy? I'd give it a solid maybe because there are still a lot of half lit torches out there among MMO vets for DAoC/Shadowbane style PvP sandboxes. Whether it's worth playing in the end it's too early to tell, which is in itself, yeah kind of a problem. Toplowtech posted:Okay one question, does this game get the same stealth mechanisms as DAoC? The various kinds of stealth classes are all going to take penalties for doing their stealth actions and have limited stealth interactivity and time, but beyond that they haven't really said. All the stealth classes will be some of the last things they put into the game so it's hard to say.

It did... it was called... something... gently caress. It shut down pretty quick, one of the first mmos to actually shut down. It might have even been pre-WoW. I'm not sure though. Fear.... Rage.... something like that.

I’m confident because the same VC group and lenders have given cash commitments to the game showing a lot of confidence in their ability to produce. The reason for major delays is the contemporary demand for building and destroying bases. Implementing that in a pvp game is probably the hardest part and the cause for most delays, design and testing. Yea they are small though and it’s taking longer than expected but with no other mmos on the horizon, oh well.

Byolante posted:it wass the most mystifying poo poo ever because guild wars already existed and filled the niche Fury was interesting because it had a very early version of the idea of action MMO combat that became popular around TERA, GW2 and everything else that came out in that era. It was still essentially tab targeting under the hood but you could move during abilities, PBAOES were heavily represented and there was a bunch of movement stuff including various teleports. It died because it was bad and deserved to, mind you.

Wasn't Fury the one that had a 1 million dollar tournament or something? Jesus lol I had completely forgotten about that game. It's crazy to think about the sheer amount of MMOs that were coming out during the peak of the genre. It felt like there was a new MMO coming out every month.

I remember Fury, I was in the beta with a friend. We enjoyed the combat, but most of the game ended up being all the fun of waiting for BG's to pop in WoW. I seriously don't remember a tournament for it, though I dropped it before it released.

I only know about this game because NerdSlayer did a "Death Of A Game" on DAoC where he didn't ever talk about why it died, he just talked about how it was the greatest game to ever exist and then at the end pivoted and revealed that the video was actually just to shill for Camelot Unchained which he works on. Needless to say,  at the state of the game.

So how is this coming along? I got fond memories of DAoC and what it tried to do at the time, I'm fine with them taking their time to perfect the PvP and buttwing demons but curious what they have been up to on this.

The sad thing is I have no interest whatsoever in de Lego part of the game. I just want good RvR. I'll be the guy defending the working peons, even maybe chip in an mine some materials. Custom made structures is cool and all, but they're only there to support the main aspect of the game.

They spent so much drat money on making minecraft castles when they could have just made like 10 templates instead. Makes no sense to me. Mostly because if/when this game comes out, it will be way too late, in my opinion.

This feels sad when you realize it's still an alpha, the kind of alpha that isn't fun and doesn't have a map beyond a field or any classes in the game yet https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-01-15-about-that-camelot-unchained-alpha-in-august

At this point i've written this game off as yet another kickstarter scam, looking to exploit nostalgia. The devs have ran off with the money and have no intention of finishing it. Filed it under the other scam MMOs, Star Citizen, Shroud of the Avatar, Pantheon, and Crowfall. There's probably a couple others i've missed.

Has there even been a video showing off actual gameplay and combat and how it works? I tried searching for a video and the best I could find didn't seem to show anything, just an old man babbling. Who cares about concept art and lore? I would like to see how the game actually plays.
