REVIEW

[Corpus Cal]

since i typed this up for a steam recommendation
(which it THEN tells me it can't post, cuz the game is not released LOL)....

this MMO is in pre-alpha testing.

it's a very unique, and ground breaking MMO.
there's no other MMO with such arcadey TRUE ACTION combat. *
and no other GAME even (that i'm aware of) to simulate so many physical aspects of a dynamic living world.

temperatures (you have freezing & heating tools, able to create lava)
& materials combining and mixing, with actual affects to gameplay.
such as rain making certain ground muddy, and player characters moving slower and more unpredictably through it.
different types of soil have different adhesion,
so that not only water is simulated, but also various types of DIRT will fall/slump/flow.
and be held together by grass & tree roots, etc.

and it has (or WILL have) most of the crafting/professions that people loved in Star Wars Galaxies & Ultima Online.
and many more innovative mechanics.

finally, a GOOD MMO, after 30ish years!


* more on combat
it feels very unique,
the way you have to weave paths amongst the loot (& powerups)
that are thrown outwards from killed mobs.
in order to pick them up before they disappear.
you're usually doing it while fighting other mobs,
as they usually attack in groups.
no stationary dice-rolling whack-a-mole/sandwich combat here!


might as well post the link for pre-alpha testing if anybody enjoys testing:

Are you allowed to post yet as a tester? Is there no NDA?

There is no NDA for text, screenshot, or videos. There still is one for livestreaming.

I've been waiting for SWG 2.0 for decades, so I'm interested and monitoring. I see in another post you've got the initial feedback about the cartoon graphics, I too hope this is less cartoon and more photo-realistic. I get it's not going to be the same thing, but I am looking for that magic again; hoping you guys can bring back the MMO magic (and not muck it up like Sony did).

Me too! I quit SWG just after Jump to Lightspeed was released and before the combat upgrade. I quit specifically because of the warnings about the CU. All I want is a great crafting system (hopefully with Macros like SWG had!) and the ability to level up without killing stuff plus the freedom to level up whatever you want.

Also dont want levels: SWG's skill system was the best - no levels, just select whatever you want within your skill points allotment. This lets a player experiment with lots of things before settling on what they like to do the most.

Also: No hologrind.
