Audio Version What we did in game Bill GW2 Elite Dangerous Layanor Secret World Harry Borderlands the Handsome Collection Hearthstone Telltale Everything Collection GW2 World of Warships Chris Neverwinter WoW Elite: Dangerous Hearthstone Heroes of the Storm ESO Patreon patreon.com/mmoreporter 24 patrons $111 NEWS 1 Chris - Crowfall get funded $1.766 Million Nearly 17K backers More about Crowfall “Eternal Heroes, Dying Worlds” PvP centric. PvE will be almost trivial, and a side thing, not the focus. Each campaign starts in spring and works its way to winter With each passing season, the world become more dangerous, and resources more scarce Campaigns will have rulesets that differentiate. Players can choose which campaign they join. Campaigns last weeks/months, not days. God’s Reach - Three faction RvR with a twist. Really 2 realm (Order and Chaos) trying to win, with the third faction, Balance, trying to make sure that NO ONE wins. The Infected - 6 to 12 faction RvR The Shadow - Guild vs Guild The Dreggs - Free for all Voxel Farm tech Destructible environments and buildings. Makes for fun sieges. No gear grind Gear is lost outside of campaigns, unless you bank it in a way. Eternal Kingdoms Set up in fiefdoms, like the old Asheron’s Call “Allegiance/Patron” system This is the permanent part of the game. No auction house, but player run stores. Some Kingdoms may become more popular. Possible tax set by ruler Character classes Some race/sex locking for classes 12 Character archetypes Further specialization available at higher levels Advancement Through EVE like passive advancement AND active skill advancement. You can slot primary, secondary and tertiary skills to level. Primary gains more, etc. You will be able to assign advantages and disadvantages to your character Advantages are skills that cost points Disadvantages are penalties, but give you points to spend on advantages Resources “Speaking of hunger, the other kind of hunger is a factor as well, as Crowfall will feature survival mechanics in some form. Plan to stockpile food reserves in the spring, or by winter, you’ll find your character weakened, or worse.” http://errantpenman.com/2015/03/29/hobo-gamer-crowfall/ More info http://errantpenman.com/2015/03/29/hobo-gamer-crowfall/ Audible Go to audibletrial.com/mmoreporter Doghouse Use the coupon code mmoreporter for a free 120GB SSD with your purchase!

Still looks promising Zergs! Good thing they remembered the zergs! ;) Can’t be a spiritual DAOC successor without them Love the spell tracking effects - obviously placeholders, but I like that you can track the arc and see the effect coming from a distance Interesting that physics are 100% server side (mentioned in the preface to the gameplay) NEWS 4 Cabal II opened beta signups - http://cabal2.estgames.
