Are you more hyped for Crowfall or Camelot Unchained?

That said, these are two games I am really looking forward to. I really like the art style, classes and overall feel/concept behind CU. With Crowfall the "sameness" of the classes/characters is offputting, but the ideas behind it and combat style look amazing.
Its a hard call, but atm I am probably more hyped for CU.
However, I appear to have been very wrong on both accounts. It started with the hype train as every game announced here does, then CU basically went silent and went to work. What I have seen recently has grabbed my attention more so than any other game announced recently.
So, I am looking forward to CU, and I most likely will be playing at this point.
Crowfall, is designed by a studio that likes niche games and they are building a game to fit in that niche. While I like some of the systems, and I am in no way saying it is a bad game in general just a bad game for me, so I will be giving it a skip.
If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.

This isn't a knock on Crowfall and I wish both games success. More so, this is just 'first impressions' and subject to change as the dev cycles progress. I think (hope?) there is room for discussion aside from a Crowfall vs. CU debate as both games look promising.

I' also somewhere inbetween, and luckily we won't really have to make the choice - we can support and play both games.
Having said that, both games are pvp focused without being too hardcore and both are taking different approaches to making pvp interesting long term and so I am following both.
Currently, I am leaning towards CU. There are a few main reasons for this:
The only thing I don't really like about CU at this point in time is the medieval europe / generic low fantasy. I'd prefer something a bit more exciting / high fantasy.
With Crowfall, it's main redeeming feature is the changing campaigns. This seems like a great way to keep the pvp fresher and more exciting for longer. However, the whole design of the game makes it sound like a glorified lobby-based pvp game, except matches take 2-3 months instead of 15-20minutes. Still sounds like fun, but I expect more from my MMOs. I've probably missed discussions / announcements of other features so maybe my current impressions are just wrong, I'll do more research once the games approaches launch.
Hyped. No, I can't get hyped for MMO games any more. There is too much transparency too soon. You can't expect me to stay hyped for 5,7 or 10 years. I liked it when I heard about an MMO when it was in deep alpha or early beta stages. Watching the building process, while interesting, at some point becomes watching paint dry.

Camelot since it isnt a "crossair point and shoot target game" Crowfall are made for ppl who doesnt go to the gym, or excercise their biceps and underarms, as this game (Crowfall) Will give you Golf'ers elbow and arthritis in general
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.
Crowfall and Camelot Unchained are two upcoming mmos I am really keen to play because they are building their games solely around the element I like most about mmos- group pvp- and I expect that focus to deliver a great and refreshing gameplay experience.
