If the spirit bank locations are contestable locations that could help solve the issues also. Not just players owning it either enemy NPC should also attack and own the location. That way it helps prevent alt camping if you don't do away with recall/teleporting. Also they could make it a trade pack like system from archeage where you have to make pack in a capital/main hub and then wear the pack to the spirit bank location which then disables teleporting/recalling while wearing said pack. If you die you drop the pack and others loot it.

if they have no recall/summon ability this prevents this

You would literally need to have all the CW going on and ending at the exact same timefor this to be a thing. This may be possible with 2/3 CW going but scaling up to 20-30 CW going off that’s gonna be impossible . With CW having won conditions some will end early. You will need to have CW running and ending at different times. Updating with have to be done during CW and effects will be applied in the CW there is no way to get around this. Updating will be a pain in the ass but we’ll get use to it.

wipe everything for the 1st sanctioned CW!

lots of big news, even if all of it is not good. Thank you for updated timeline

they sell them, if they can generate enough of them for free with little to no effort on their end in their sweatshops they will gladly do it. 1 penny at a time adds up if they can run 100s of games and make 10 pennys an hour per game for minimal effort. That would come to $240 dollars a day for example

it will happen, gold sellers are everywhere. They can make resources in their own EK as well remember and its not just "gold" they will. They will sell vip as well from the cash shop as it is not bound. HOW??? credit card fraud. Why does it take them about 1 week to sell stuff... they need to see if its worth the time/effort to start a new game. They need demand as well, so once they start seeing demand it appears.

this is not a pve focused game at all but there will be plenty of PvE activities to do once the game soft launches.Most of the pve activites will happen in your own personal eternal kingdom and other players EK. Other players can build up their worlds with mini games like mazes, pve style quests as you can put monster spawners in your EK and more. The game play will be very sandbox style with things being created by the users for other users and fun is what you make of it. This stuff will take time though. Building your own empire and customizing the world how you want will take a lot of time

you will see gold farmer in about 1 week of ANY mmorpg. People will always buy gold and the value you get will be stupidly low but they will exist. The question is how much span will be prevented/stop so it doesn't feel like there are a million gold sellers cause even one website with 10-50 spam accounts spamming makes it feel like the worlds is flooded with gold sellers.

no the game is not launching this year, the game MIGHT soft launch this year.

Correct ^

Because you still can buy and sell old packages. This is a amazing resource that should still be pinned until at least soft launch.

these appears to be unpinned why? =(

It was 25 store credit iirc

great stuff looks very promising

All for this kind of rule set and it is what I imagined when the game was kickstarted and dregs was talked about. Free for all / friendly fire on CW

The eu servers are still coming IIRC so don't worry about it your ping will be a lot better in the coming months when EU servers launch.

I do feel the game will launch this year. We are closer than many people think with 5.4 and with a lot of new hires and outsourcing they can get a ton done in the next few months. Not all features will be polished at soft launch or even launch. Its an MMORPG it continually improves over the years. I expect Alpha to be March, until Beta which will be May then June soft launch. Todd's statement points to that, and what I feel will happen is Juneish we will be at soft launch, they will run 1-2-3 different (or a very small amount of but this depends on demand also) CW at the same time

They are suppose to do one of these every month because of the KS pledge packages iirc. The questions get picked out of the private forums and they sadly don't pick the best questions out of there because they either cant or don't want to answer them at the moment.

as soon as it is playable they will be out there as its a HUGE update and this will help push crowfall over the top into the media since now we have PvE things and the game is getting really close to being done.

I'm sure there will be =) I don't recall where it was said but there was a "win condition" for killing raid bosses tossed around before.

this is ofcourse the 1st patch of these parcels, they will make more as time goes on and it will get better and better over time. I wouldn't worry about this at all.

It wont be the only option for soft launch/beta

They obviously are using that as an example of why they didn’t do it this time, learning from their past mistakes.

They could have but it would have been a lot more work especially considering name reservation already happened and I am sure some older backer that have purchased it have not even used it yet which the main problem would lie IMO. Say you have a KS who for whatever reason that owns /purchased guild reservation and has not used it yet and wanted to sometime in 2018 ... but come to find their names are all taken and everyone was given a free pass to make a guild and name it... that person would be disgruntled even if they are given $50 in wallet credits... they bought something 3-4 years ago and
