Crowfall Details Training/Skills
Artcraft Entertainment has posted a new update to its Kickstarter backers detailing the game’s skill/training mechanics. While active training will be available to gain proficiency, passive training will be the primary way of advancing your character’s skills.
Similar to Eve Online, passive training means your character is advancing whether or not you are logged in. Three skills can be leveled at different rates at any given time, with an estimated one month for the quickest skill to reach maximum.
VIP members will be able to train three characters simultaneously, and additional skills can be queued in case one hits the maximum level but the player is unable to get online for some reason.

Crowfall Begins Phase 2: Kickstarter Now Available
The timer on Crowfall’s website hits zero today and it may not surprise many of you that it lead to a Kickstarter campaign. The self-described Throne War Simulator is asking for eight hundred grand over the next month, with an estimated delivery of December 2016.
In Crowfall, players battle it out over multiple worlds for control of the land. The game promises meaningful season changes, limited campaigns on procedurally generated maps, player control over maps, and a lot of destruction.
You can grab a digital copy of the game for as low as $30 during the Kickstarter campaign.

Play Crowfall To Destroy, Not Create
If you hadn’t heard, Crowfall is set to be developed using the Voxel Farm engine, the same technology powering Everquest Next and Landmark’s destructible terrain. The benefit of this tech is that it allows for procedural generation and for the world to be destructible on a very detailed level.
Blast holes in walls. Collapse towers on your opponent. Dig a tunnel beneath a castle wall, so that you can dig your way up into the courtyard and siege from within.
While the technology will be available in all worlds, it will really shine in the Campaign worlds where players can literally bring down civilization. After all, it’s going to be destroyed anyway.
On the creation side, if you’re into that sort of thing, the voxel tech allows cities to be built with great detail, from castles to shops, and allows for them to grow organically. Everything in the game can be procedurally generated using complicated algorithms.
Check out more details at the link below. Crowfall is set to launch as a buy to play game with an optional subscription.
