Will You Be Backing Chronicles of Elyria Kickstarter?

Of course, it looks awesome
Meh
I'm just too indecisive
I'll wait for the game release and see then
Bet you could be a potato farmer in this game

You shouldn't add funny options in the poll if you're looking for honest votes :D

But all I'd get is a list of replies asking where the potato option was if I missed it out ;)

There was a game a while ago with somehow similar mechanics, if you died in it, you had to pay the retail price again to create a new character. Is this the same one?
I can see "Spark of Life" costing 50$ according to their kickstarter reward section.

As I remember that your mention games is of a Russian FPS game. But yeah, I also don't know what the heck is Spark of Life, hope that one character per account @@"

I just read the notes, it seems it takes more than one lifespan to die permanently.
Overall it looks great if the final game is what the team is talking about right now but still based on experience, every huge hype like this turns out to be a huge disappointment in the end. Also I really doubt it would become that popular since people rather play an easy mmo and focus on hard stuff whenever they want, but in CoE everything seems to be hard.
I always wished for a mmorpg with a destructive world, hope they won't change it.

Since they don't target it properly, we don't know how many is more than one, and I don't want to play any MMORPG for $50 in only 1 week just because I'm a noob at RPG :"<

Just came across this one:

Sparks of Life | Chronicles of Elyria utilizes a new business model never before seen in MMOs. CoE hearkens back to the coin-op arcade model where, for $30, players buy a Spark of Life that grants a soul the opportunity to live for between 10 and 14 months, before establishing your Soul in a new character of your choosing. (Note: 1 Spark of Life comes with purchase of the game.)

so, to simplify it, 1 spark of life will gain the player to play in around 1 year, then re-purchase them again, seem fair. They also claim that $50 for 1 spark of life, literally, we pay around $5 each month, still affordable for a MMORPG. I've played through many MMORPG that have cash-shop or microtransaction so just hoping this devs only make cash-shop for cosmetic items.

Pledge $25 already :"3

Apparently you can also buy sparks of life with the in game currency you earn from doing different activities. It's probably gonna be pretty expensive but still it motivates you a little to play the game and do the activities that you might miss otherwise.

I hope not so. The in-game currency will be out of balance between an occasional player and a money farmer. Real cash will make more sense :"3

I don't think it's the main currency, it's a side currency named EP or something that you can use to buy sparks of life.

In Chronicles of Elyria, the Story Points you earn (by completing in-game activities that help advance the story) can be traded in between lifetimes in order to buy Sparks of Life. This is what we call the “Earn-to-Play” model of funding.

I'm pretty sure there will be another currency for purchasing items and stuff. I mean in a game this realistic, it would be weird to buy weapons with story points.

how about a small sword worth 2 story points and 1/69 part of Sparks of Life is worth 900 mil story points, lmao, I've seen this too much XD~

I guess this is their equivalent of an annual fee .. It's certainly an interesting concept and I'd accept an annual $30 a year fee if the game was good enough

It's 50$ per spark of life, 4$ a month if your character lives for a year, that's pretty great for a mmorpg. But still depends if there are other ways to die earlier or not.

Each time your character dies in game reduces your spark of life duration by 2 days. There is a contradiction as it says either $30 or $50 depending on where you read it ..

That's a deal breaker for me.
I die a lot in RPGs, if each death reduces your spark of life duration by 2 days, people like me have to purchase one every month or two.

I am a little unclear but I think you initially fall unconscious if slain in battle and only if another player actually performs a special kill when you are unconscious do you die. However, that player becomes known as a killer and there are disincentives to ensure it does not happen often .. Needs some more clarification methinks

$50 a year perhaps, but still a good price anyway for. The most boring thing now it its release day at Dec 2017, too long-time waiting :"<

I found his odd man boobs to be more distracting.

And on topic: I never had the patience to immerse myself that much into a game.

I've checked their Kickstarter and the idea looks really awesome on paper. I honestly doubt that such concept would work in an MMO, though...

• No World or Mini-Map | Map makers and cartographers have a place in CoE, helping players navigate their world. But watch out, because treasure maps can be faked and locations may be renamed, leading NPCs to refer to a town by the most used name.

I like how this game will be.

Waifu city, kek country, ass empire
