    Thanks Suzie and MMORPG, as always! I've been hoping that these folks would be voted for, I've been waiting to talk about them for quite a while. Really excited by this trio, on all levels.

    The realm pride thing I mentioned awhile ago, and you class comment is really sitting true with me already. I LOVE all the Viking ones already.

    Awesome! That's why I/we are spending the time on our classes and races. You need a strong foundation to build upon if we want our players to have pride in their chosen Realm. Not all players will care, but we want give players the tools they need to help make this game a success, whether it is with building structures, or pride in their Realm/race/class.

    Here's reveal stream recording - aaand here's brief(ish) stream summary (including Q&A) - http://realmsunchained.com/camelot-unchained-class-reveal-shapeshifters/

    Also @MarkJacobs, couple shapeshifting questions:

    1. During KS, you hinted at Cait Sith possibly shapeshifting (into some kind of cats, I guess!?) - are we going to see this implemented?
    2. Some of Banshee banes & boons mentioned corporeal & incorporeal form; Is this still a thing?
    3. Are Berserkers going to shapeshift (or at least change appearance to some extent) during the "bursty" phase, and also in "downtime"?
    4. What happened to the Phouka?

    Of course, feel free to answer with "we are not ready yet" or anything like that  :(


     W...aaagh?

    Yeah great wonderful amazing and all that, but what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be working on this game so we can play it? Go! Shoo! Scat! Get back to work!!  B)
    LOL. Actually, I am still at work (as is Andrew) and it's 8PM. :)  He's working on some housing stuff, and I'm posting here, MOP, and on our Forums. I'm also about to open the October newsletter doc for review. 

    Glad you like what you are seeing from us!

    That's the plan. I really want to make people want to play alts. And when you combine interesting classes, races, and a horizontal leveling system and plenty of slots, we should get an interesting mixture. :)

    Speaking of Wiki, I feel that great majority of people is totally unaware even of it's very existence. Also, being a dev, I'd link the hell out of The Depths, PvE, Combat, Crafting etc. on all kinds of forums. Wiki is a weapon, use it! Of course, I am 100% blindly biased in this case.

    I guess good part of the team is unaware of all the jewels hidden in the depths of their own Wiki (modesty, your name is JG >:) ). Say, for a random example, did you know that there is a Tree page, with it's Notable Members section?

    On topic, recent class reveals leave me with somewhat uneasy feeling of too-good-to-be-true!? The amount of promise and potential is insane, I can only hope that you'll underdeliver on all the "right" places. Hey, maybe I shouldn't be saying this in public?

    PS of course, I shall - just in case - sugarcoat this one with <insert random "Mark you rock and the team rocks and the reveal was awesome..."> praise =)

    Thanks! We're definitely off to a good start with the class design. Now comes the really hard part(s) right?

    I hope so too. We're setting the bar pretty high when it comes to our class design. This was part of my thinking when we began the Kickstarter. We knew we wouldn't have the money/resources to make a great PvE game, but we believed that we would have the resources to make great races/classes for our RvR-focused game. As always, time will tell if we were right. I hope we make you, and our Backers, glad that they helped make this game come to life. Thanks!

    If you get even remotelly close to DaoC RvR, backers will be flipping extatic. And playing alpha, I can see hints of where it is heading. These classes... running around out there? Will be amazing. So far, the only problem I can see with this game, is "Aaaw man, I want to play them all!! What to choose, what to choose?" I always start as a crafter, in every game since UO and my little tailor. But this one? I will have so many alts I will have to have a 20 sided die beside the computer and let it choose what to play that day.

    It should be thrown with great force"

    Loving it can't wait for this game to come out
  • NanulakNanulak Member UncommonPosts: 372
    All I can say is that with every class reveal they are just making my life harder :( What the hell am I going to play? They keep getting cool variants of that are very appealing. I hope I can play all of them in beta before the game releases so I can get a better idea of how to pick.

    Not a fan of PvP at all, but I might have to check this game out regardless. So few MMOs have shape changing classes, and even fewer do them well. Will be keeping an eye on this game.

    AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!

    We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.

    when this was announced I was pretty skeptical. all the info coming out recently has peaked my interest. kudos.
  • will75will75 Member UncommonPosts: 365
    Impressive, as an IT tester who has not lived up to their needs.. because of work, life (baby incoming!), house hunting, etc.. Every time i see these updates and an hour or so on sundays i can catch up a bit, maybe even log in. It's pretty amazing, i wish i had more time right now :)

    Beta 1 folks are already getting test session invites and C.U.B.E. access (including offline mode), and Beta should start ˝this winter˝, i.e. March or earlier.
