*there was
Yep "beta" since 2018, and in the state of which any other game calls alpha.
The pathing for example is pointless if the npc's have nowhere important to go and players have no reason to care where they go.
The reason I gave up on mmorpg's is because NOBODY gets it right from the BASIC core design.You need to start with a world that has good pathing "YES",good scripts for those npc's and a world that has interaction AND an ECO system.You see those NPC's should fear the surroundings just as we do,it is a world and it should act like one.
Realm versus Realm.....WHY,why are these realms fighting with each other....just because?Characters are typically more like robots than lifelike characters,they don't need to eat drink or sleep,are they even living at all or just some paper doll 2D model we slap gear on and tag it as a class.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Gah, only thing I got from Forumfall was developing my skill at arguing with libertarians.
On topic, Darkfall is probably an apt comparison. It was resoundingly mocked as being "vaporware" throughout development, but then it came out, albeit too early (probably in part to respond to vaporware claims). Both also have small studios behind them. I also always expected Darkfall to come out just like I expect Camelot Unchained to come out. Darkfall had some clear design problems, though, which is not something I worry about with CU given MJ's experience and what's playable so far.
I mean, there's a large amount of lore written up for the game that's publicly accessible that explains the "why", but sure.

Kyleran on yours sincerely
'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
Gdemami absolutely not being an armchair developer
This 1.0 navigation system seems to be a core design deliverable which should have been well in place before ever promising any sort or release date, yet here it is going live for the first time almost a year later.
Any wonder why folks find it difficult to take anything he says seriously or even valid?

It's up to websites like MMORPG.com to decide when that monthly update has something big enough that it makes into news.
What apparently has been an underappreciated feature (by me) is Bethesda added "companions" and wandering NPCs earlier this year who rather brilliantly can make their way around any player's camp even while in a real time build state.
They remarkably climb stairs cases, utilize chairs, sofas, beds, crafting stations, weight benches, shooting galleries, and Mr Fuzzy amusement rides, in a variety of ways some times.
They will even make comments about the difficulty of staying in shape, or remark about the condition of an item that's been placed, making the game world really come alive.
Keep in mind, camps in FO76 can be built almost anywhere, from the level lawns of White Springs to the towering crags of the Savage Divide with almost infinite diversity of build design, yet from Day 1 these NPCs have accurately pathed their way through it all in real time.
While the game has often been slagged (and rightfully so) there are many features such as this which give it a quiet brilliance in terms of designs which keep me playing on.

"we now have NPCs that can run around player-built structures. Their pathing does not rely on the typical techniques that are used in most games since CU, unlike FS:R or 99% of other games, has structures that are built/destroyed in real time."

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
What's next moving a nameplate and taking a screenshot and including that in an update...
This isn't just lipstick on a pig it's make up on a clown.

Try a MUD today at http://www.mudconnect.com/These updates are all really basic stuff that should have been done long ago. Well at the very least done before announcing working on a new game or hinting at a launch.
It's pathetic.
