anyone else notice Crowfall stole Das Tals idea?
With this whole Seasonal worlds w/ a definate win condition.
Everyone thinks Crowfall is revolutionary, but Das Tal has been in Alpha for a year and they've been very upfront and public about having this same feature.
I just think we should give credit where it's due.

crowfall has been in development for something like a year and half.
XL is also working on a civ mmo with has basically the samething.
das tal is alot less engine intensive....its hard to say who thought up what first. but its good that there will be multiple options out there.
But Das Tal has made it public long ago. It's also been in development for year.
The difference is many people have played Das Tal, including myself, and know it has good gameplay and smooth controls.
Crowfall, while exciting, has only shown some screenshots. Not even a video as of yet.
Das Tal is most likely further along in development and will release a year or more sooner.
BTW, I just looked at some ambient effects they are putting into Das Tal (cloud and bird shadows) and they look simply amazing.
im all for innovation and taking risks to break the mold in mmos, but when games borrow ideas from other games its not about who invented that idea, its about who makes it work better. Doesnt WoW ring a bell here? whatever ideas they borrow from others they make them superior. They are still the king for a reason, and lore alone is not it.
So between Crowfall and DasTal, who cares who came up with X feature, who will make it better? thats the question. My opinion, of course.
Honestly, it doesn't really matter.
Whether they actually stole the concept or not is likely something we'll never know. It does happen, but it's far more common for developers to have similar ideas that happen to get rolled out at comparable times. Ideas aren't born in a vacuum, developers talk. There are entire forums where developers share ideas, not to mention events like the GDC.
While it's generally frowned on to steal another's IP, taking ideas from another's mechanics or business model is actually often encouraged. How do you think genres get made.
I'm sure the police won't charge for it, thats like stealing someones trash off the curb. Things like seasons are the antithesis of an mmorpg.
This.
The winners of that server in Shadowbane got their own NPC spawn put on all the live servers.
Crowfall has heavy Shadowbane roots. So Crowfall trumps Das Tals.
Civilization online has been very public about having developing game-world that also ends.
Trove made big headlines about how their worlds would end and new generated back in 2013.
You mean, an MMORPG did something another game did? Next you're going to tell me there is a world outside my front door!

Sshhhh! That's supposed to be an insider secret.
