Camelot Unchained Releases their First Newsletter of 2021 - Talks Realms and Races | MMORPG.com
In the latest newsletter from Camelot Unchained developer City State Entertainment, a lot of topics were covered, including a breakdown of information released on the livestream earlier that day. In the newsletter, the art team dove into zones and biomes and the new State of the Build talks about the game as it stands now, and what players can expect from this weekend's test of The Verdant Forest 0.1.

There is like maybe 1-3.
This team has been trying to show us NOTHING that makes a great design,IDC about some item or some faces/races not going any places.
I need to see DEEP hardcore game design and i will know in the very first 5 minutes if the game is serious or not.
DO i blame them,well 50/50,i know everyone in this world is just trying to earn a living,to pay the bills but at the same time,your trying to fool people,deceive them into spending money on your product.
The gaming market is like a used car lot,the dealer knows the cars he's selling are lemons but he has to play the game,he must sell his product at all costs.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

Did they kick your kitten or something?
Original promised delivery date...2015
Yet 5 years later and they are showing off their concept art.
Time to add more to the pile

They are releasing pictures, because they have nothing else going on, not a game to begin with.
I think the same situation is with Pantheon - each time I see news about it on some MMO news website, sometimes there is a video livestream and it's just a couple hours of two talking heads, they don't even show a single picture, just yapping away about some boring crap that nobody cares about.
I'm claiming my Kickstarter as a "donation" since there's never going to be a real game. At least I've kept some folks off the street.
No, but they did steal $110 of my money.
and calling it "Beta" no less!
That's simply not true regarding Pantheon. Here is a 2 hour video of them actually playing the game as a group of five, and this is not the only video they have posted featuring gameplay.
Sure you can't get a refund? They refunded my Hero Forever-pledge 5 years ago or so.
As noted, Mark is way behind on processing refund requests put in almost a year ago, no telling how long a new request put in today might take.

Most of their videos are dungeon crawls with little evidence of open world content.
Don't forget, they recently admitted to resetting development a year or so back so most videos previously shared are of a world which is mostly back at gray box level.
Don't assume their recent dog and pony show created to lure in new investors is anything more than a marketing gimmick, they really don't have much in the way of playable content and are way behind CU in terms of progress which isn't saying much of course.

Okay....I will post this one from 10 days ago then lol. I am not here to debate the state of the game, when it will release, or all that. Just pointing out it is simply not true that they don't post gameplay. And this is 100% more gameplay than we see from CU...which is in "beta". Pantheon is still pre-alpha.
All of these kickstarters are shit. I bought into a few of them when the first craze was happening and not one has delivered.
Are you serious? They've been releasing actual gameplay videos with Cohh Carnage for the past 4 years, what rock have you been hiding under?
1) Original expected release date of 2015. Now almost six years late, and still in a state that shouldn't even be called a beta.
2) Decided to use development resources on a second game that backers never asked for, and didn't bother telling backers about it for months.
3) Months behind on promised refunds.
4) Heavy-handed moderation on YouTube comments and likes/dislikes and on the official forums and Discord.
5) Still hiding behind an NDA despite claims of huge improvements to the game.
6) The head of the studio, Mark Jacobs, acting extremely unprofessionally by picking fights with commenters on MOP and Reddit.
They originally launched their kickstarter for this game in 2013 with a delivery/launch date of 2015. In that time they have produced next to nothing tangible. Their updates 8 years later are still concept art pics. They actually, instead of working on the game people gave them money to make, decided to make another game and launch it before they even finish this one. Whether they used backer money for Camelot Unchained for their other game is unknown but suspected. I used to be a Jacobs defender during the Warhammer problems because EA and all. But this project is probably the second biggest fraud of an MMO that has happened right behind Chonicles of Elyria. Hell in some way worse because at least COE was rank amateurs, Jacobs created and launched 2 large scale MMO's and one of them is still celebrated as one of the best MMO's ever. What City State and Camelot Unchained is borderline criminal at this point and they are the sole reason I'll never back another game on kickstarter.
