    As D&SS moves into the "Count" level of picks the COE forums are ablaze with declarations by one king or another to wage total war against any Count who "randomly" chooses a County within their borders without prior permission.

    Appears this could upset all of the carefully made plans of those in the ivory tower.

    I'm hoping a few Counts deliberately do disruptive placements just to enjoy the ensuing drama in the coming years regardless of if or when the game actually is released.

    Here's a sampling of the threads.

    From what I hear a lot of it is fake drama with alts.

    IMHO it’s far too early for this stuff.  The game is not even in Alpha.  This could have been much juicier closer to launch.  Right now the “threats “ are more along “We are going to kill you 2 years from now!”

    Only 2 years from now?

    Most likely 3 or 4 yrs at least, 2025 is not outside the realm of possibility.

    Vornair has been full of cunts for awhile. So not surprising they have no more room. Maybe they missed being the most hated kingdom. So had to take their drama back. At least they are all within one kingdom so Caspian can just release some "story event" onto them.

    I find this legitimately funny. 

    Even a bit more after you consider how badly CCP’s other game investments always go (a terrible waste).

    Well it seems like DSS is the event that never really ends.

    After a one day extension the selection tools were taken offline but will return on Oct 7.

    Any idea how long that one runs and is called Settlers of Elyria or is that something afterwards?

    At this point, you have to think that SBS has an event for all the players they hope will be the cannon fodder for the high level contributors to prey upon.  They could even call it "the Sheeple Stampede".  I wonder how they are monetizing that?



    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    Well after Settlers of Elyria there is the Dutch Auction I believe, and the Kickstarterversary has about 2.5 weeks more to go.

    You know things have reached a new level of bizarre when folks create threads to praise the Creative Direction of the game and reference a RNG rare item from the Kickstarter Sale as the basis for the statement.  Currently sitting at +11...

    https://chroniclesofelyria.com/forum/topic/33589/creative-direction-of-coe-a-bit-of-appreciation#post371832


    These are the folks that hated the idea of a Publisher, Cash Shop and LootBoxes.  So now they have a Cash Shop raising literally millions of dollars by selling in game items and an RNG mechanic that resembles a lootbox, but no benefit of a Publisher.   Awesome direction!

    You probably shouldn't share threads like that one, impossible for me to not "participate" which just seems to set the downvotes rolling.

    Think of it less as "participating" and more "injecting a harsh dose of truth" into a thread.

    Folks do not visit those forums for the truth.  

    That's why we have MMORPG.COM  :)
