The game has been growing and changing over the years. I have no idea how many of the things Mark discussed with me in the past are even true anymore. I’m not following the systems or feature lists anymore.
Again, I’m following the ‘big picture’ ideas behind CU. Let’s get rid of beta as a marketing gimmick, shall we?Īs for promised features, I’ve lost track. I wish games would stop promoting beta testing as if it was a promise or should mean anything to players. So in that respect, I really don’t care if it took another year or two to even reach beta. CU is probably the last chance I will ever give a PvP MMO. I’d like a fun game like Camelot Unchained to get ‘it’ right. It was, at one point, possibly coming as early as “early 2016.” Personally, I don’t care. People love to scream, “It’s vaporware at this point!” I don’t see any truth in that.īeta (or as Mark likes to call it, Bater) is still delayed. Â I don’t think that it was ever negative or too serious to the point where I have doubted the game would release.
Camelot unchained mmo update#
The CSE team is behind their schedule set out in the Kickstarter, but we all know by now that MMO timelines are mostly meaningless and when they hit their timelines the games aren’t finished anyway.Ī couple months ago Mark (CSE President) admits the tone of development was a little more ‘negative’ or ‘serious’ as they hit snags (I think I heard him say that in one of the recent video update streams). I browse the website every so often to see what’s new. They’ve created a very tight community and naturally most of that discussion happens within that community and not within the greater MMOsphere - which actually sucks for all commentary right now, so perhaps that’s okay.ĭespite being a backer of somewhere near $200 (I think?), I haven’t followed CU more than skimming the weekly emails. In this case, those followers are mostly devout backers. Like all niche titles, it has a cult following. CU is a very, very niche title right now. I think the comment is right that Camelot Unchained needs more discussion. Or any of the other crap they were selling. Cause 3 years on there is still no beta, right? And nobody even talks about storm towers. Thankfully I came to my senses, and cancelled that. For beta access and a really cool storm tower or something. We all love mark’s “openessâ€, but wasn’t the Kickstarter like 3 years ago?Īnd I, for a few hours, had more than $1k pledged. I’m going to hijack this to talk about Camelot unchained, cause, it seems to need some discussing. The comment hijack inspired me to look up a WordPress plugin that would move comments to another post, so thank you doubly for that. My inspiration came from a comment by one of our regular readers who hijacked a post. I was inspired (which I need more of lately) to write today’s topic on the status of Camelot Unchained.
