Interface Woes During Testing
Hi everyone, I'm an alpha playtest backer and I've participated in the last couple of combat playtests. I'm 40, and I consider myself a casual gamer. I backed the game because 2016 is really in need of some good MMOs again. Also, Crowfall really has some unique appeal and ambitious concepts. I want to see this game succeed.
That being said, my attempts in the combats were disheartening. It appears that the only way to view things is by moving your mouse. So I'm really struggling with that concept. If this is correct, then you must use the AWSD or arrow keys to move, use the mouse to look around and then use the keys to perform combat? That seems unnecessarily complex. I looked for UI options to change that, but wasn't able to. I got frustrated and left combat each time before the end of the test. I think I speak for all the casual gamers, that having a WoW-ish interface is a good thing, or at least having the options to customize the game's UI to your liking. I would MUCH rather use the directional keys to move and view in that direction and use the mouse to target/attack. I think a lot of other gamers would as well.
Also, when you run to get equipment, it took me a while to see if I could get the gear. The proper gear for your class should be clearly visible (glowing, or wrong gears should show red), also instructions on how to get the gear onto your character should be obvious as well. Make the game easier to play and you'll have more players.
Of course if I'm wrong and not doing something properly or missing the option to change that, I'll be elated. If this is something we can fix or I can change on my end, I'll be pleased and not feel like I tossed away a lot of money to support a game I won't want play.

Most of your progression will be made in Crowfalls
IDK, about Crowfall being end game though, I think that will be the main game. The EK seems more like a pretty chill lobby.

Taking a Look at the Templar Resource
The final Crowfall Archetype to be examined for 2016 is the Templar. In a blog post on the official site, Mark Halash writes about the Templar's Powers and UI, starting off with a discussion and reminder about "minimum viable powers". From there, the article examines the history of Templars and the differences between Confessors, the liturgical/arcane part of the church, and Templars, the military/martial part of the same.

MEET THE TEMPLAR!
The past few weeks have certainly been busy for us. We have seen the launch of our MMO environment (aptly dubbed Big World) and the release of the Guinecean Duelist archetype. As always, even with all the tweaks and fixes and hard work required to release a major milestone, we always have one eye toward the future… and a few team members running forward to make headway on our next release.

Here's my idea about Crowfall Online
Glad you are giving suggestions, but the concept doesn't seem to mesh with the Crowfall vision. Maybe try something like it on a Crowfall to see what people like, which is great about having multiple rulesets.
