In the January ACE Q&A Livestream, Creative Director J. Todd Coleman and Thomas Blair (design director), shared that the upcoming milestone, War of the Gods (Update 5.110) includes the last major game system, Guild v. Guild battles.



“If you liked what we had before, you’re going to love what we have coming,” said Creative Director J. Todd Coleman, quoting a message he’d tweeted earlier in the day.



During the stream, Todd reinforced that the team’s focus is on hitting that critical milestone, The War of the Gods (update 5.110) as soon as possible. He went on to say, however, that we are not targeting to hit a date. Instead, we are focused on hitting a quality bar. The WotG update is one of our largest, adding significant features to the game including, The Dregs. The Dregs is our Guild v. Guild world and our final pre-launch system. The Dregs will introduce an innovative new approach, ratcheting up the competitive intensity that puts Crowfall Guild v. Guild battles in their own category as “strategic wars” where the strength of your fighting forces is only one dimension of your overall competitive arsenal.



The tactics revolve around three key tentpoles: Guild v. Guild, Stronghold City-Building (buildings can rank up offering incremental benefits beyond the functional purpose) and Divine Favor (complete tasks for the gods and get rewarded in victory points). Each offers a strategic approach to annihilating your enemies! In Crowfall, your choices are your greatest weapon and that is never truer than in these battles. We look forward to sharing more about The Dregs with players in the coming months. BE PART OF CROWFALL’S CLOSED BETA!



Closed beta will open in early 2020! Soon we will announce the opening of closed beta by sending out the first group of beta invites, officially inviting our earliest groups of registered members and backers in to playtest the beta release. When we have the date, those of you in our community will be the first to know. Our team is busy wrapping up the milestone and then will go into bug fixing and polishing mode, which usually takes a few weeks. After the tuning pass, our next step will be to put the War of the Gods release on our TEST server. Once we validate viability to support a larger player population, we will start sending out the CLOSED BETA invites, at which point we have officially moved from alpha to beta. When the closed beta goes to LIVE, it will be announced across all of our social channels and the forums, via livestream and messaged to players via opt-in email. No purchase is required to participate in the closed beta, but if you are interested you will need to be a registered user, so, register now! One note, participation in closed beta does require opt-in, as we will ask players for feedback throughout the process, some of which is managed via email.
