![]() ![]() Camelot Unchained offers various combinations of classes, factions and armaments, allowing you to develop your hero in a way most suited to your playstyle. The game features a real-time combat system and the outcomes of the battles are decided not only by the skills of heroes, but also by the player’s ability to use them effectively. To sum up, the PvP engagements and their results impact the entire geopolitical situation of the virtual world. ![]() It also affects most of the mechanics in Camelot Unchained, such as the virtual economy and the real estate which belongs to the players. The RvR gameplay is not limited to just battles. The developers have fully committed to the PvP aspect of the production, which features wars between the previously mentioned factions. The game lacks a PvE mode, which means there are no quests focusing on the plot, where you face enemies controlled by the AI the only AI opponents you will meet can be found in the tutorials of the game. Upon starting Camelot Unchained, you must create your hero and then release him into the world to search for adventure. There are three playable factions for the player to choose from – the Arthurians, the Vikings and the Irish tribe of Tuatha Dé Danann. Just like its archetype, the game focuses on Realm versus Realm battles (so–called global PvP). Frankly, if I had a solution so that latency, packet loss, etc.The action takes place in a fantasy world, a mythical version of medieval Europe. But given current technology plus what's reasonably foreseeable over the next couple of years, there's no chance of perfection. But you can design a system that is reasonably fault tolerant, with checks, resends, and verifications so the game can compensate. ![]() If you fire off a packet that says you attacked something and it never arrives or does so 30 seconds after it was sent, you can't rewind time. Now, will I say something stupid like, "Latency will never affect your gameplay!"? No, because nobody can say this realistically because sometimes it does it is simply a fact in these games. That is one of the things Andrew has been spending a lot of his mindshare on, improving network usage and tolerance for delayed and lost packets. I hope not much, within a certain tolerance. How will latency affect the realistic attack-and-defend action-combat of the game? Plus, while we have said there will be no global cooldown, we have also stated that abilities will have individual cooldowns/recovery times, so you will not just be able to spam powerful ones. However, I don't think that kind of manual dexterity will be a problem for our players. Now, we have said as well that we won't have any limited action sets, so you are going to have to deal with a lot of options. We have also stated we will have few or no insta-cast abilities, which will further limit the amount of twitchiness in the game. Well, we have already said that our mages won't be bunny-hopping their way to success, and the same applies to archers. How will CU avoid the trap of making action combat too much about manual dexterity rather than mental acuity? Again, all classes will not have access to all components, so mages can't use all of them, nor can any other class, even hybrids.Ī lot of MMO players prefer hotkey-based push-combat specifically because it requires no twitch skills. This system does not give all classes all the components rather, it allows you to create your own combinations using the ones your class can work with. For example, the HelBound will be able to use some healing components that pure fighter classes can't, but they won't have access to the vast majority of magical components. Further, your class might have further restrictions in terms of combinations of components. As a member of a certain Realm, you might not have access to particular components, whether for magic or melee combat. Massively: Can you explain why the component combat system and player design of combat abilities doesn't render the concept of classes moot?ĬSE's Mark Jacobs: Absolutely! Think of the combat system in the same way you would magic. Welcome back to our coverage of City State Entertainment's batshit-crazy days for Camelot Unchained! A few weeks ago, we spoke with CSE co-founder Mark Jacobs about each of the topics being revealed this week via livestream this morning, we picked his brain about the game's innovative combat system. ![]()
