Modifications

Camelot Unchained se distingue foncièrement des autres MMO par les aspects suivants : un champ de bataille RvR persistent, dont la physionomie et la topologie sont contrôlées par les joueurs eux-mêmes ; une économie également entièrement aux mains des joueurs, avec un rôle central de l'artisanat et des classes spécialisées dans ce but ; aucune progression ou item lié à du PvE (et très très peu de PvE en général).

Du PvP, et aussi, du PvP. Pour varier un peu, du PvP. Non, plus sérieusement, le focus du jeu sera double : le RvR et l'artisanat. L'idée c'est d'avoir un monde ouvert, relativement sandbox, dans le sens où à peu près tout sera créé par les joueurs : bâtiments, items… Vous n'aurez pas de loot d'armes sur des monstres, vous ne pourrez pas acheter des maisons auprès de PNJs, etc. Tout cet équipement, il faudra le concevoir à partir de matières premières récoltées ici et là. Les joueurs vont se battre pour prendre possession des terrains où se trouvent ces ressources indispensables. Dans cette perspective, vous pourrez devenir un soigneur, un tank, un magicien, un archer, ou même… un simple artisan (il y aura une classé dédiée à ça dans le jeu). Sans compter les classes « hybrides » prévues, type soigneur-dps, éclaireurs et autres métamorphes !

=== What will the combat be like? ===

Combat is intended to be more meaningful and slower paced. Conflicts won’t be resolved in a few seconds like in most MMOs. When two people go head to head it may take a second or two just to get off an ability – giving time for the game to include visual cues about what is happening and allow you to decide how to respond. Combat will be slower paced but tactical, and will depend more on realm-wide coordination and balance rather than individual character balance. Travel time will be slow and resurrection will be restricted, to ensure that combat is important and dieing hurts. You won’t see fast-paced action combat type things like diving to avoid damage. However, there will be abilities that actively block and all ranged attacks are physical objects – so you can avoid some of them and stand in the way to block most of them.

Crafters will make almost everything in the game. Siege weapons, armor, weapons, spell books, etc. They use the Vox Magus, which is kind of like a giant magical organ (the instrument) to wield magic that takes basic materials and transforms them into new items. They will even craft and improve their own Vox Magus. Players can also build buildings in the game. Keeps and castles and so on. Crafters will be absolutely essential to the game and its economy, but they will also be dependent on other players to protect and help them in gathering materials.

There are three factions. The Arthurians – followers of Arthur Pendragon that are the embodiment of nobility and honor. The Tuatha Dé Danann – who revere the forest for its fierce beauty and unyielding grip on life. And the Vikings – who follow Sigurd the Dragonslayer and follow the path of blood and steel to greatness.

The Vikings: Mjölnir, Helbound, Winter’s Shadow, Child of Loki, Arisen

We do not know how customizable characters will be, however, we do know that servers will be faction locked. You will not be able to have characters on more than one faction on the same server. This is to prevent cheating. We also know that accounts will have a limit to the number of characters you can have per server, because some backer packages increase this number.

There is currently no release date. The game is currently in tech alpha and beta 1 is expected to start in or before March 2016. Three phases of beta are expected.

You can become a backer by visiting their store here. $35 dollars will get you access to the backer forums and Beta 1 (as beta 2 backers will be given early access to beta 1). You can also follow our site, read up on camelotunchained.com, or visit the wiki here.
