I would absolutely love to work on a Necromancer character!!! (sidenote: my favorite class in Diablo 2) I would want to make a necro class that can of course raise dead - skeletons, zombies, liches...etc. - but for for me...I would want shear visceral soul rending action combat Necro. Someone who has traveled and explored the lay-lines of life and death - intimately. I would love for him to have a ripping/tearing blood-sacrifice action element feel to him. His basic attack could be an minor death coil/withering attack and maybe every "N"th it attack could drain/transfer health. He could drain life through aura's and direct abilities (indirect/sustain), spear/claw enemies with razor sharp bone spells/mutations (caster/direct/assassin), explode/siphon corpses, and spread death and disease (support/specialist), rip and rend souls (support/specialist/assassin), and as a back up have a small but deadly set of dagger/claw ripping/branding/cursing/soul-slaving abilities for last line of defense melee (assassin). Oh and for escape, he could occasionally move demonically fast (think soul projection like Lord Marshal from Chronicles of: Riddick), OR!!!! oh!!! maybe he could temporarily mutate himself into a large twisted undead hulk/brute creature and just smash stuff until you are brought down or escape. Some form of undeath/blood form could be cool too!!! Anyway - I've always liked the vibe that Necro's have in general - artistically, thematically..etc. Those are just some random thoughts.

I think good players with mouse cycles to spare will have better situational awareness than those who don't bother to or can't afford to look around, and I think that asking for the mechanical skill cap to be reduced in the name of making the game more skillful is hilarious.

http://www.thedregs.net/video/ As soon as there will be more streamers, I'm pretty sure that the guys at thedregs.net will add them to the directory.

Even if I'm positive about a (hinted) reward related to test activities, I'm not positive in regard of prizes for all testers. Testers are chosen according to their pledge level, so it's a fact that testing itself do not need a reward but is a reward.

Bought this years ago, not a huge fan of standard keyboards and gaming.

Next test Wednesday 9-11pm CDT ***Live Streams*** ***Archived Streams*** http://www.twitch.tv/arawulf http://www.twitch.tv/realblankspace http://www.twitch.tv/valorlotd http://www.twitch.tv/chelvie69 http://www.twitch.tv/isublimity http://www.twitch.tv/hyearpresia http://www.twitch.tv/chief_sarcan http://www.twitch.tv/obslod http://www.twitch.tv/morbismia http://www.twitch.tv/elvinemod http://www.twitch.tv/undirected http://www.twitch.tv/karsis25 http://www.twitch.tv/praxea http://www.twitch.tv/greiztoph http://www.twitch.tv/jumboperson http://www.twitch.tv/iraedei http://www.twitch.tv/draegan101 http://www.twitch.tv/icemanudl http://www.twitch.tv/gamingexports http://www.twitch.tv/gosucrew http://www.twitch.tv/infernoblitz http://www.twitch.tv/ambrosiostv http://www.twitch.tv/thejabooty http://www.twitch.tv/moxceo http://www.twitch.tv/donkleaps http://www.twitch.tv/killadrix77 http://www.twitch.tv/rainmanlod http://www.twitch.tv/nortemshine http://www.twitch.tv/shunejii http://www.twitch.tv/angelamadawk http://www.twitch.tv/gorwald http://www.twitch.tv/veyloris http://www.twitch.tv/keludar http://www.twitch.tv/yujoon http://www.twitch.tv/kriptikpvp http://www.twitch.tv/nocturnaldemise http://www.twitch.tv/itsziz http://www.twitch.tv/grim2103 http://www.twitch.tv/hirnsturzzockt http://www.twitch.tv/tobranearnwood http://www.twitch.tv/themittanidotcom http://www.twitch.tv/bast_50 http://www.twitch.tv/erlexx http://www.twitch.tv/liftingnerdbro http://www.twitch.tv/chemsorly http://www.twitch.tv/tenschi http://www.twitch.tv/malfortehwin

No matter how they do it, heads should always point where the player is looking at.

3rd person zoom: passive, unskilled. Information is available to any player with no effort. Camera free look: active, skilled. Information is only available to players who make the effort to acquire it. Better players can look around while doing other useful things simultaneously; uncoordinated players must stop other activities or become less effective at them in order to look around. The two scenarios are as analogous as playing Quarterback is to watching the game on TV.

So far I believe that is the only one. He said there will be some more today, I think. Don't worry though, in the next 2 weeks I am sure there will be many many videos... or at least that is what I am hoping.

The reward for testing is game knowledge for launch.

no, you're here to test and not gain some random reward.

You can still watch the streaming on twitch.. just click on "past broadcasts".

Imagine how fun it would be to raise your foe's corpse after defeating him to serve you. Way worse than teabagging.

When I bought it I had a pull out keyboard tray so space was limited. The two-in-one form factor isn't much larger than a standard keyboard with numpad which was a big selling point. Gamepad is just there, no extra hookup, space, moving around, etc. As you said, it is simply double keys so they work exactly the same without any need to fiddle with anything in/out of games and for my not so large hands, everything is easily within reach of my limits while being more ergonomic than a standard keyboard. Less need to use shift/alt/ctr+whatever as there are more real keys within reach. While the G13, Orbweaver, Tartarus and Nostromo's before them are all good, all handle differently. They clearly have more functionality with macros and what not, but if you don't need that, is quite a waste for double the money for what I paid years ago and not everyone likes the ergo/feel/layout.Have tested G13/Orb and will get one of them when this thing finally reaches it's end.

*Jack Skellington voice* What's this?!

Thanks for the update Pann! Little sad I can't jump off a roof and shot fireballs at something

Video available now. Sorry about that. =/

Until we get the youtube one : https://video-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hvideo-xfl1/v/t42.1790-2/11954949_1032657366747580_1606711430_n.mp4?efg=eyJybHIiOjM3NCwicmxhIjoyMTAyfQ%3D%3D&rl=374&vabr=208&oh=5ba54db85bbef6ae73f0f8bbedc64ecc&oe=55E8AF72

I'll definitely be streaming and posting videos when I have the opportunity. Like the others stated, once things really get rolling I'm sure multiple streams and videos will start coming up quite a bit.

Hooray http://community.crowfall.com/index.php?/topic/8593-crowfall-update-ace-qa-for-september-with-todd-coleman-and-thomas-blair/ mr moo cow if you want your name corrected you have to give the correct spelling

The issue will probably arise that you can see around impassable places and possibly aim there to. If someone is blocking a doorway you can swing your camera around into the room and aim regardless of physical orientation I noticed from the stream yesterday. This opens up a lot of physic problems with the chain mechanic already. It's pretty early so I assume that their camera mechanics are still fairly infant.

I was actually hoping summoning would be a discipline that any archetype could take.

I know that video games shouldn't always conform to real life, but in real life I can move in one direction and look in another by turning my head. I hate not being able to move the camera independently of my character. That being said, I would have no problem with a limited field of view. Perhaps we can only turn the camera 45-90 degrees to either side while moving. That way we can't see what is behind us unless we turn around.

Necro always is a fun class. Raising your foes corpses would be hella cool also raising your mates wouldnt be too bad itself.

That's not random! I'm calling your bluff. That necro is already in the pipeline for Archetypes isn't it?!

Feels like maybe one of the druid promotions could end up as a necromancer type eventually?

i lost it

Live right now! Nice to see you guys, it's been too long! =D

Good luck in your recruitment efforts!

It was definitely awesome going on to Twitch and seeing that Crowfall stream available to watch!

mhmhmhm I think the combat type ACE wants to go with Crowfall is a very active one, from what I understood. So a necromancer class potentially wouldnt fit into that too well. But that doesnt mean anything, I am neutral to that at this point of time.

I know this probably has a snowball's chance in Hell (pun intended), but I'd like to put forth the idea of a demon summoning discipline, and not just any demon summoning discipline, but one with some real meat on its bones. The way I envision it is as a high risk/high reward mix of a crafting and combat support discipline. The name of the game here is expending rare resources, significant opportunity cost, and possibly some human sacrifice in order to summon powerful demons which have a significant impact on the battlefield. Think of true terrors of the abyss which have the capability of single-handedly turning the tides of battle into one's favor. "Wait a second," you might say, "that sounds utterly overpowered." And you might be right, but I propose the following ways in which this might be balanced: 1.) Resources: Demons are greedy creatures, and are only tempted by the rarest and most prized of possessions. Masterfully crafted and magically enchanted weapons, armor, and powerful artifacts come to mind, as well as rare and valuable gems and precious metals. 2.) Opportunity Cost: Demon summoning is not for the untrained, unskilled, or faint of heart. It requires one's full attention, devotion, and time, and, in the cases of the more powerful demons, multiple summoners are required to both summon a demon and keep it under control until it has once again left the mortal realm. Many a demon summoner have been slain by a crafty assassin while at the summoning circle, thus freeing the summoned demon to wreck havok amongst its former allies' ranks. 3.) Human (or other intelligent being) Sacrifice: The most powerful and crafty of demons are not to be entrusted to their own devices (or their word), and require the soul of a freshly slain ally to reliably control the demon during combat. While this ensures finer control over the demon, it also further diverts human resources which could potentially be used elsewhere. 4.) Unexpected consequences: Demon summoning is a fickle art, and even the most experienced summoners make mistakes, most of the time to disastrous and gruesome effect. Most demon summoners survive don't the first year of training, but even those that do count their life expectancy in months and seasons, rather than years and decades. (How this is quite implemented, I leave up to the developers.) So...thoughts? Suggestions? Example Demon Ideas? Does it have a chance of seeing the light of day, or shall it ever remain one of the forgotten arts?

I would love to know who is all streaming the Hunger Dome and where I can find their streams. I have http://www.twitch.tv/jumboperson but that is the only one I found. Thanks for the help.

Hella excited! Also, for your viewing pleasure:

Jumbo is a dirty exploiter! As is Blair. Sitting in the hunger and regenerating full HP over and over by unequipping and re-equipping an item that gives +HP. Hilarious stream guys. Can't wait until Alpha testers are let in to have some of this fun.

You don't lose anything when upgrading. You gain the things that it says you will gain in addition. The system is complex but it's not hard to understand.

I just thought dashing around and shooting fireballs in the process would be cool. Oh wells. Thanks Pann for the update !

Being able to run away and not stop to turn around and see where the people are chasing you is very powerful, confirmed by the Juke master yesterday

Chalutation ^^ Bon ça comme à sentir bon l'Hunger Dome !!! S'il y a des FR/Francophones qui seront sur la pre-alpha, n’hésitez pas à me contacter en MP pour vous donnez l'adresse d'un server TS de ma guilde. Histoire de faire de bonnes teams et d’accueillir les joueurs solo pour cet event. A très bientôt, Neo.

You got it I dont play CSGO for the weaponskins, and I dont intend to play CF for the EK fluff.

Can I summon a legion of Succubi? If so got my vote.

You have my vote... I'd rather it not be a pet class more of what you just described sounds great!

There are 13 classes right now and they can do one later, once all the other classes are done first.

Necromancer classes are always so poorly done. I wouldn't mind skipping it now.

and it's just Pre-Alpha? Nice job guys. I can't wait to see more and for Alpha 2 to start. Thanks for posting the link Oberon.

This looks better than several games I will not mention that are already officially released. Let alone other games that are in testing stages...

But is it the same "class" eg Assassin. So the stretch goal includes the artwork and animations for the male body. Then they use all the Assassin powers already in queue for the Fae. The only reason the race + class = archetype formula is being bent is due to the backstory.

I hope not. I want an MMORPG, not a game that lends itself well to arena style matches.
