Huh, the same group of people that constantly propagandize that -W- is the One True Zerg are the ones losing their minds over this. Weird.

You finally figured out our secret weapon.

You can still throw numbers, you just have each guild form their own micro blob and have to coordinate a bit better to avoid FF. This is exactly what happened in the early dregs before the alliance system was in. You can still easily zone cap which is the bigger problem, imo. I would much prefer combat mechanics to better deal with blobs, like higher AoE target caps then artificial social limits that can be easily circumvented.

I was both referring to time and also making a comparison, using 'than' in this case might be more correct, I dunno. I'm not an English major. Thanks for contributing to the discussion at hand.

All that would do is invalidate blob tactics. You cannot code away people wanting to work together in an open world pvp game without destroying the open world part.

A humble historian that doesn't understand that the Death Alliance has existed much longer then crowfall.

The more keeps you hold, the more exhausting the siege schedule system gets. This is only compounded by both regular no-shows and zone cap enforced no-shows. Any guild/alliance that keeps going hard for victory back to back to back will quickly burn out their players and implode. The schedules are fine for faction servers, but dregs needs some form of handshake sieges.

Original post was probably over the top, but when I saw their official twitter talking about Giuseppe the Guinea Pope I got kinda disgruntled. Still need to nix the Guinecean = Italian references though.

I might be wrong, but Underhill bosses are given mob titles like "Capo" as well, right? It isn't just a couple of coincidences.

That was my initial reaction as well. But then I realized the duelist buffs aren't just a neat reference to Princess Bride, they also do dual duty of reinforcing the Guineceans = Italians thing.

Why am I not surprised Zybak's only response to racism is memeing.

Guinea is one of many ethnic slurs aimed at Italians in the US. Specifically mocking Italians for having dark skin.

Did I say the hamsters by themselves were bad? But calling a race Guineceans (aka Guineas) and also giving them Italian names is 100% racist.

I never paid attention to the names of the NPC's in Crowfall because I don't care about the lore. So it wasn't until today when I saw this tweet from the official Crowfall twitter that it hit me: #GUINEAPOPE? You are using Italian names like Giuseppe for Guineceans aka Guineas? Are you custard kidding me? Apparently racial slurs are only bad for us players. The devs are allowed to quietly insert them into their game all they like. Haha! We got this race of Guineas and we are gonna give them all Italian names, HAHAHA SO custard FUNNY GUYZ!!!!

It really feels like they are running out of money, and what they mean by "First Sanctioned Campaign" for 6.0 is that it is going to be the "early access" soft launch to get a cash infusion. They know they don't have a complete game, so they are attempting to mask the lack of content/systems/features with pointless grind.
