Everyone has a fighting chance
The Camelot Unchained alpha did not begin as expected, despite the best efforts of the development team throughout the weekend. In a lengthy letter to the Camelot Unchained community, Mark Jacobs promised the community remuneration in the form of free subscription days, CSE points and Founder’s Points. Jacobs further informed fans that alpha is likely only to be delayed a short time to solve some pesky client crash issues, though all other systems seemed to be working as intended.
The path to the beginning of the Camelot Unchained alpha continues tomorrow, Tuesday, March 3rd. Thanks to MMORPG.com user will75, we know that the team will be on Twitch.tv during a planned stress test of the game servers in an effort to see if improvements to the game client’s stability have been effective. During the event, developers plan contests, chat with the development team and a live look at the work that’s going into getting the Camelot Unchained alpha underway.
The Camelot Unchained team will be starring in a live stream today beginning at approximately 10:00 Eastern / 7:00 Pacific that will show the final preparations for the start of the game’s alpha. According to last night’s update, it would be an easy matter to delay the commencement of alpha in order to complete the final preparations, but the team feels that that’s not an option.
As part of last night’s update, the Camelot Unchained team has posted a new image that shows the ability crafting system the team is incorporating into the game. It’s largely unreadable, though some words can be made out such as recovery time, disruptive damage, preparation time, damage, stamina cost and a few other abilities. Check it out and let us know if you can get a handle on some of the blurrier abilities.
The Camelot Unchained site has been updated with a new developer blog that lays out the details about the latest announced class, the Viking Drengr. The blog also reveals the Path System, a way for players to make character archetypes in their own way yet with an ease of understanding and simplicity.
In anticipation for Camelot Unchained’s new class announcement we chatted with City State’s Mark Jacobs to get all the insight on the Drengr, a Viking Warrior with brutal attacks and defenses alike. Read on to find out all about the new class and what it brings to the table.
The Camelot Unchained site has been updated with a review of this past weekend’s backers’ pre-alpha test. According to the wrap report, servers were stable, FPS and graphic integration were champs and players had a great time assisting the team with testing.
City-State Entertainment has announced that more Camelot Unchained players have been added to participate in today’s pre-alpha testing events that will include a look at battleground PvP. Players entering today’s event will notice a new build is in place since Wednesday’s play.
City State Entertainment has announced that it will be hosting a special Camelot Unchained State of the Game live stream event at 4:00 p.m. EDT / 1:00 p.m. PDT today.
