good shit dudes
This intro is so f ing good
Hearing how many devs are being pulled off of their work in order to fix bugs and such worries me, that means things may be pushed back even farther with this. Content creation takes a long time and to see a lot of the zones still empty really is a red flag for me. The team is currently in crunch mode and we know that's not good
There needs to be some grind
Guild size should be 40 since raid is 40
This intro is painful. Like a welcome to country as a YouTube intro.
I like 225h to level 50, there has to be a filter to filter real players in MMORPGS from 1 hour a day guys who think their feedback is most important while they barely play the game. Lets be honest here, MMORPG andies spend on their favorite game way over 1000h a year. So 225h to max level is not an issue as long as content you do while leveling is plenty and enjoyable. There are many game types and categories, and mmorpg is not for people who dont have time to play games. This sound rude, but it is what it is. Whole genre started rolling down hil when devs started to bend their knee to casuals and leveling is now usually 3-12hours in new titles…
The leveling time 225H to max level is INSANE, this won't fly in this day of age. But I think the reason is this: Monthly subscription, that 225h is I think mostly calculated if you play 7,5h A day each day(30days) = 1 month subscription. Now most players will not have that much time to play, most ppl will be between an average of 2h till 4h a day: For 2h a day (30days) -> 112.5(days) till max level – And 4h a day (30days) -> 56,25(days) till max level. That means Intrepit is banking on that 100% to get back the investment that they put into the game as fast as possible what is considered doing it the normal way because they do not have P2W in the game.
But then again the above statement would mean that is a 50% chance that the casuals will stop playing before they reach max leven because of the below factor:
Most casual players won't be having fun leveling that long, because the hardcore guilds will be max level way way before them and conquering areas around them and dominating the server as a Guild v.s the other guilds(guild players that have a job). SO I think this will be eventually a very BIG issue and all goes back to the leveling speeds. Well you could say well and if it is shorter like 30h still the hardcore guilds will be ahead, true that but not THAT much ahead for other guilds to catch up, that window is more narrow instead having a gap of 150h+ from a casual guild perspective.
Good interview and as always great questions.
Nice work guys!
Great interview! Very good questions, thank you 🙂
Great job gentlemen, I really enjoyed this. Some great questions asked here, really interesting to hear what state Steven would be happy to release the game in. Keep up the good work.
another game that will flop on release.
Nobody wants open world pvp with corpse looting 😅
In a properly made newly released mmorpg, leveling should take month even when playing everyday or do not even bother with leveling and just make a tutorial for max level.
Calling out his medical condition (cough) big yikes…..
Please god give cleric a melee strike
Great Job guys!
