Still the appeal of having battlegrounds is there, especially when one has short blocks of play time available, and might actually increase the player base due to providing a greater diversity of play options, and thus offset the perception of existing at the expense of player numbers participating in RvR. One other reason to not mix playstyles is a loss of immersion in the world as a whole in a themepark instanced minigame where one magically teleports to an artificial arena, especially if different sets of gear and abilities are utilized. Estimated delivery of Beta 3 Access, September 2015. Please note that Camelot Unchained is only the working title for this game and the game’s real name will be revealed during the game’s development. That being said, I feel Proximo’s point regarding tempering rewards in battlegrounds (so there isn’t a greater benefit per unit time) is valid, and for some odd reason isn’t being acknowledged. Of course, all Kickstarter backers receive a lower price for the game than it will be at launch. I think the biggest issue is balancing gear and abilities between RvR and instanced battlegrounds, and then I suppose dev resources that would otherwise be spent on the other. Between the cities and the kings and the Depths, and all these components… itâ€™ll be truly interesting to see how these alpha and beta experiences transition into being a finished product. Iâ€™m still very, very interested in how this whole game will come together into a cohesive experience. Scenarios can not co-exist with a open-world RvR game and not do irreparable Â harm. Scenarios were the absolute bane of Mark Jacobâ€™s past game, as well as just about any game purporting to be about open-world RvR. I was reassured by the affirmation and commitment to keeping the game about open-world gameplay, and not succumbing to the temptation of the cop-out scenario gameplay. The dates werenâ€™t even the part of the conversation that mattered most to me.

Thatâ€™s a decent place to be in for an early or perhaps mid 2019 release. They plan to hit the Beta phase around mid year. â€” itâ€™s simply a statement of â€œSummerâ€ to me. Whatever the real date ends up being â€” whether itâ€™s July 4th or July 24th, etc. Iâ€™m adding the â€œishâ€ because throughout the video announcement they were pretty clear to point out several times that this date was the date they want to hit, but then qualify it with caveats. Camelot Unchained beta will be July 4th-ish. Today the Camelot Unchained beta announcement dropped, and you guys were quick to send me emails and notifications â€” thanks for that!įirst, the date.
