Fallen Earth

This is an except from the latest Question of the Week at the Fallen Earth main site, (www.fallenearth.com):

Economy
The other day I said that creatures drop the same items player make, so a Crude Sword you find on a critter is the same as the Crude Sword a crafter can make. What I did NOT say is that everything a crafter can make also drops off creatures. It doesn't. Crafters can make lots of stuff that will never, or very rarely at best, drop off of creatures. Sure, a Crude Sword may drop off of creatures and be something crafters can make, but the really high-quality Crude Sword called a Jagged Blade only comers from crafters. In Fallen Earth the crafter, not the item farmer, is king.

Good news for anyone that wants to craft in FE.

hmm, this means the craftera will be very popular......but they still  need components to build from....that means the explorers will be popular to.....and thats me : )

I think there will be a high level of player interdependency, like there was is old time SWG. The crafters needed the resources from the explorers and diggers, and needed the add-in components from the PvE players, all of whom needed the items the crafters put out. Everyone was needed and everyone had their place in the bigger picture. Before loot became king and everything dropped and nothing wore out.

The FE devs won't be making those mistakes...

All hail item decay and player driven economy.

Mano,

It would be nice to see a new promo movie or dev interview or something...

Any idea if this game is going to at least hit beta this year (08)?

I'm starting to think this game is going the way of Heroes Journey and Darkfall......

As much as I like to give some of you old SWG vets grief, I gotta say that for the pre-cu crowd, this game could indeed be what some, if not all, of the vets have been looking for. It's been at the top of my game-wanted list for quite some time now. Just hope they get it out soon ( or as soon as possible after it's been debugged and polished, that is ).

Torak,

Have you been looking at QoTW
on the FE forums? It's the nearest that there is to a dev log.

It would be good if there was a monthly summary in the FE Announcements to keep the community involved, and to dampen speculation (yeah, I almost wrote that with a straight face).

I do hope that when FE is finally goes 'gold', there is enough content and - more importantly - the tools to allow players to create their own content in the sandbox environment.

I'll take my customary 6 month sabbatical and check back on progress in June.

Regards,
Riotgirl

Yeah, I read it every now and then but it doesn't really say anything about timeframes, beta or whatever.

It would be nice to see some new movies like they started letting out this time last year before they vanished. Q&A on your own forums is nice but hardly a good method for reaching the community. I guess you get into that whole "hype" thing, put out to much and gamers get upset because of the hype, not enough and everyone thinks its vapor.

My theory is they are working in the same building as the Darkfall devs or using the same marketing company...

I will probably do the same thing, put this on the burner for another six months of no new news.

 don't know how you are defining "content" but I just hope the game has all the tools it needs at launch that will enable a virtual world. I'm not very interested in another "on rails game" doling out linear "kill 10 rats" level progression. In fact, as I am playing Gothic 3 right now, that game is more of an MMO then any MMO released in the past 4 or 5 years. Its to bad its single player.

Cant wait till this game comes out  i really hope its half as good as they are saying
