r/CamelotUnchained

Hello!

Backed the game on kickstarter a long (loooooooooooong) time ago, didn't even know the project was still ongoing. Just saw it released on steam, and I'm surprised I didn't even get an email.

How do I get access to the game on steam ?

(I know it's garbage, but I want to see for myself how bad it is, without paying again).

What’s the community thing thus far?

Dark Age of Camelot's lifecycle, from just a twinkle in Mark Jacob's eye, to the final DLC and the ending of development, was about 7 years. It was concepted, created, launched, supported, evolved, matured, and finally run into the ground by Electronic Arts and put on life support in the span of just 7 or so years. Thats it!

That is half the time Camelot Unchained was developed for. It was left to cook for about 14 years. Why is it so bad? Mismanagement. They dropped the ball so bad. This is so sad.

If this game has been in development for 10 years and this a product you present to your audience, you should go and find something else in life other than making games. You might not realize that, but you obviously are extremely under-qualified to make games and it’s just not your thing, unless your plan is to scam your entire audience…. either go and study properly how to make games, or start a new hobby because this isn’t just a bad game, it’s one of the worst games out there. And you just embarrassed yourself beyond imagination. Some people still had high hopes for you and you really did dunk on this one. Shame

I just shit a big one in the toilet and whatever came out was better than the EA of Camelot Unchained.

Title. How different is this build from what backers have been playing? Bonus question is, how long has the game looked and played exactly like it does now? Haha

All this time we were told that yes it's ugly, hasn't much features or anything, but at least THE ENGINE will be good. Right?

People are doing PvP in group right now and they don't notice how bad the engine is.

But the engine isn't good, this is extremely old school online game networking.

You best see it if you do any non one sided 1v1s. If you are affected by any crowdcontrol, the server will constantly rewind your position and decisions. I have a skill ingame to dispel stuns and crowd controls but it simply works for 2 seconds until the server decides otherwise. Applying a slow or a root on enemies makes them teleport around. I had another skill to immediately turn invisible while in combat and it constantly would get canceled.

We were told this is an engine that can sustain dynamic fights between buttload of players. But right now it's not even dealing with 1v1s correctly.

Line of sight is constantly broken as well, because it looks like it's considering the line between your feet and the target's feet, so any pebble in between breaks it.

There are of course a bazillion things to complain about, but they're bugs and details that can get fixed. I think their netcode is fundamentally fucked up and there's no fixing possible. This is beyond incompetency, it's like the guy who made DAOC tried to redo it from memory.

so first off there is a lot of running and it's not at all clear where to run to the map sucks outside of keeping track of which faction has captured what maps but not how to get to those maps.

within the spaced out hour i played arthurians won ig 90% of the entire multiple islands

yeah there are sort of islands but whatever you imagined before forget it.

NPC mobs are a thing and usually in the areas of the resource capture points. ig you can also capture towns. there also seems to be some kind of fishing. you can skin npc animals for materials. there's also occasional other resource nodes. expect less than wow per minute running on these resources to a degree.

i found pvp exactly once. the purple faction was camping a teleport node and i was still figuring out how to do the combat because it's a bit clumsy (but not as bad as you'd think). like 90% of the game seems to be arthur faction.

this is pretty lol for 13 years of development but i'll give it a friendly 6 7

i logged back in after this post and the population was dead and the entire map was arthurian. checked in today and apparently servers are down or something lol. anyways mods removed this post for some reason and hid behind auto mod to do it which is hilarious because it's the most positive leaning post in the subreddit post ea launch lmao. yall really do live up to your reputation.

Loved DAoC back in the day and have been waiting to see CU come out! Just got a notification from Steam that it's purchasable for Early Access, but only for the base game.

Have they announced yet the price to upgrade to the "War Unending Edition" or what the monthly sub will be? Currently playing WoW but kinda bored, and might want to check out CU depending on pricing.

I went to the CU YouTube channel and you can't comment on any of the videos, they won't let you thumbs down any videos and you can't post in the community section.

Something doesn't feel right about this game lol

Yesterday I was able to get in, but today when i go through the launcher(that backers have to use) it just says no access. Did something change?

“low memory: your system does not have enough memory to run the game reliably.

Can't connect thru original launcher. " A problem has occurred. Network Connection Problem: Could not find server. Please try again later."

For sticking with this game as a supporter for so many years its a little disheartening to watch other people play and stream.

I've tried making characters in two realms of various classes. Apparently:

'I'M NOT ALLOWED TO DO THIS"

Hey so I saw the skalds songs. Didn’t see a speed song. Are they gonna have a class from each realm that can speed your group?

I am getting this message when trying to create a character. I select race, gender, class, input name, and this is all it says in a red message at the top right of the screen. I am trying to uninstall and reinstall now. Anybody else encountered this?

I finally got logged into the game and tried to create a character, but as soon as I set the name and tried to submit it, I got an error saying that I am not authorized to do that. I turned the game off and started it again and now it says Bad Gateway when I try to create a character. I'm just curious if anyone else has run into this.

Update: I tried again about an hour later and it worked, so they must have resolved it.
