Guys, Sadly it got delayed a bit. They are trying to figure out what happened honestly, I think it was just a ton of people trying to pull data at once and it wasn't ready. Happens alot and even if they say they are ready for it, they never are. Give them til Tuesday. I say Tuesday they will be ready to rock and roll. Love ya guys, See you soon in game. Darktide
No. It is a subscription-based model. Thankfully. Every F2P game I have jumped into has been pay 2 win.
They havnt discussed there anti-cheat system however, mark Jacobs has a very firm stance with Anti-Cheat and Anti-RMT. Since the entire engine and game has been coded in house, I'd imagine that it will not be as much of an issue with CU. The EUALA also has a section in it specifically addressing Macros, they know full well what happened in DAOC with a Support Buff Bot. I don't think we will see that happen here.
There is always going to be cheating in these games but I doubt it will ever dominate the game. Typical bots aren't very great at PvP and support bots would require extra subscription fees for most people which is always a negative in the wallet. Some of the most important stuff is making sure buff don't last too long.
with the lack of most pve progression in this game, I think bots wont be an issue here. At least its too soon to tell how players will gain equity within the game.
They havnt said what the sub cost will be. However they did say they would be competitive. I bought a high enough package that i wont pay for a sub for 3 years and then every year after that is 1$
OK it's TBD which Faction we doing for Alpha...https://forums.camelotunchained.com/topic/8069-xoo-xen-of-onslaught-naeuoceanic/
Skipping the alpha and staring the beta. I was in the internal warden team with DAOC (under Gyani) shaped the class and we ruled the game when it was out, made me quit quite fast Here i want to take my time with it ! Just make sure you will do everything focused towards replayability, i.e. RVR that makes sense, even if i have no idea of how to do it. All i know is that FPSs an MOBAs work very good and u can play em for ages without being bored but, so far, no MMO achieved the same result... I guess it's the fast paced action player versus player that makes it enjoyable. Every game has RVR (or pvp) 99% of them totally fail at it. DAOC was good (unless you were in blackthornes and everyone ran away from combat as soon as they spotted your crest) i hope CU will be even better than DAOC ! The question is, which realm will we pick. Probably something that has ponies and purple, so i guess, Albion ?
