Here are three stories from lonely bandit's career
I certainly hope CB is sometime in early November.
Played: E&B, SWG, Eve, WoW, COH, WAR, POTBS, AOC, LOTRO, AUTO.A, AO, FE, TR, WWII, MWO, TSW, SWTOR, GW2, NWO, WoP, RUST, LIF, SOA, MORTAL, DFUW, AA, TF, PFO, ALBO, and many many others....
@Bluddwolf good thing is that probably there will be little time between closed and open beta test, also we may expect that beta test will last longer than alpha (alphas were up for ~ 4 weeks)
Listening to these videos is painful on the ears and light tapping of soldiers on the march sounds weak as hell, The audio sounds like utter garbage, which is a shame cause the game and concept looks fun. Any of you Alpha and beta testers have word on a upgrade when game launches?

The sound of the video is not that good, but that was only Alpha so I hope it's improved.
How gear dependent is this game?
But, yeah... I have to agree, after this change, land plots in towns will be hard to get for a new/solo player.
About gear... depends what you want to do.
Only place where it is very important to have a top gear is GvG (5v5 territory attack/defense)
You can be a successful trader/farmer and become rich without wearing armor at all!
What for Open world PvP... anything can happen..
With good skills and proper gear you can get many kills.
The limitations of the portable devices are terrible, at least they can go with a more large zoom for the pc.

I've been following this game development for 6 months now, and even though I haven't played at all, I've been reading a lot and have played similar games before. Im becoming founder in a few days - 100% sure.
What do you think about balancing a bit death loss between equipment loss and destiny board loss? In my experience, having this tension in the game is healthy. Also equipment loss could be covered up easily with powerfull friends giving you silver to rebuy your loss; and even if this is not the case, I think having to "train, practice, re-do" your path, gives another emotional level to the death tension, and it doesn't have to be anything dramatic.
Im thinking for example loosing just SOME of your equipment + a default 5% progress loss over all of your skills in your destiny board progress (fame?); adjusting of course with an algorithm that wont over-punish advanced players, due to bigger absolute base.
What do you think? I think there is nothing as consistent with loss, than something that ONLY YOU can rebuild.

Update for first time readers:
What I propose is: A + B = X
X = Actual AO time needed to be as you were before dying; right now only "gear" kind of time is implemented. This is total amount right now. So if:
A = NEW time needed to be as you were gear-wise. (now A<X since you only loose some pieces)
B = new time needed to be as you were DESTINYBOARD-wise
Then I propose A + B = X
See? Total amount (X) is mantained! Its just better distributed between different aspects. I've also emphasise and algorithm would be needed to avoid over-punishing more advanced players due to bigger absolute base.
