Good luck Crowfall. Ignore the Nay sayers, generally, they say nothing good about any game. I'm looking forward to giving it a go....in a few days to let a bit of launch drama die down. See you in game!

Anyone playing, do give us an update on how it is going!

Hopefully people can have fun at least.

Err, games can't talk....nor have their feelings hurt, so who exactly are you addressing?



Let's hope it becomes the next Fortnite or PUBG.

(Not the way to bet, but who knows?)

So far no major issues.  Main one was the Chat system went down but that’s about it.

They opened a ton of regional servers like EU, US East, West, Brazil. Oceanic. Maybe more.  Pop on my server seemed low, just saw 1 guy at my camp as it leveled to 30 (after the instant 25), but it’s early on a weekday US time and as I said they opened many servers.

I have major hesitancy toward this game. Your characters and world dying every 3 months... The world being shaped by players... Sound interesting, but also seem bad.

"Procedurally generated" is probably my most hated buzzword of the gaming industry.

People on Reddit seem to be enjoying it.
I honestly didn't expect this game to launch anywhere before 2025.
Now I'm debating giving it a go but... well it's a group pvp game and I don't have a group XD

Are in-game "join guild" systems and faction warfare campaigns available, or are they not added at launch like some people were saying?

Right now they only have the starter scenarios up (God's Reach).  It has 3 way Faction Combat, but the true Faction vs Faction campaigns and the Guild vs Guild ones have not started yet. 

Not sure about the Guild invites.   I think it may be tied to the Chat system issues because under the Guild Tab I do not see my Guild members but I still have my guild shield etc...  I'll let you know once the Chat is resolved.

Reddit is not a reliable source of information. Of course everyone on Reddit seem to enjoy it because the people who are not enjoying it are probably being down voted into oblivion, so when someone like you comes along all you see is positive remarks.

Cool, thanks a lot!

Surprising that even GvG is not in, it was available in the Beta just a few days ago.

My guess is that it will be up tonight.  I think they wanted to make sure there were no issues with the starter worlds.  I hope they go up and the faction ones start.  That’s where I want to play.

Well it’s not 3 months.  It could be, but each campaign world can have its own duration from a few hours to months or even a year.     And you don’t lose your character.  You can take them to the next campaign.  Some worlds will require fresh characters and some will limit what you can take in as far s equipment.

If nothing else it is actually released.

Credit where credit is due I guess.

Started the game at 7:30a.m. pst. Starter areas seem populated, but nothing that was gonna crash the server. The only issue i ran into was quest markers not showing up on npcs heads after 30min. Other then that had no issues regarding lag or anything.

Kudos for being a crowdfunded MMO that actually released.

Never been crazy about the idea of non-persistent "worlds" - just too gamey and not MMORPGish enough for my taste - and the lack of RvRvR at release is also a turn off but hey, you kids have fun out there!

Up to level 9 so far, and it's better than I expected. 

Mikeha

Downloading now. 

Played some beta while back so looking foward to seeing how far the game has come since.

Guildmates of mine said theyll probably start gvgs in a couple days so that everyone has a chance to get their characters up and running.

Servers still down...

So the join guild in game was working earlier before all the chat servers went down, but the official FactionVFaction Campaigns and the GuildVGuild Campaigns arnt live yet because they are giving people time to level up, learn the ropes in the "safer" starter FactionVFaction world, and get gear and get a bit established. They are going for a more serious PvP game, so they want people to have a chance to figure things out before launching the Campaigns and just having those who played during the testing times, and know what they are doing, roll right over people for the first timer.

The game was fine and stable for the first 7-8 hours, then it crashed and its been down for about 1 1/2 hours, pretty expected with any launch unfortunately.

Just as a heads up, RvRvR is already live, its just kind of a softcore mode, so there are no rewards for the top scoring faction, its purely to brag and show you how it all works. The starter zones you drop 50% of carried gold, then Sky Point you drop 100% of carried gold, but you dont drop inventory stuff until the later Campaigns launch. Your Eternal Kingdom, or the one you share with friends and Guildies is persistent, along with the starter worlds which are persistent, so you can build up a massive kingdom with castles and forts and such and not lose it in the EK, but when you want some action and less stable stuff you hop into other campaigns when they are launched, the campaigns are currently on hold to give people a few days to figure out the game.

Well it's a 10 gig download.. might try to set it up overnight and log in tomorrow.

I wish them all luck. Even the ones I think look terrible. If it's not my cup of tea, but hey, maybe someone will like it.
