Economy model, trading and the town

Current plan is to allow a free trade economy. You can hop onto any other players realm and trade. Our trading screen is very similar to what you see in D2. I’ll let Kevin Jordan answer economy questions, he’s our master of coin Btw, one cool idea that I wanna get in is that you’d be able to create ‘displays’ and fill them with your wares to allow for async trading. Imagine buying a house that you turn into your own armory where you set up a bunch of dolls and dress them up with armor yo…

Any plans to have some sort of skill tree like POE/Last Epoch, etc.?

Folks, you’ll see what we have in store for you. Just cause STR builds in Souls games aren’t too different from one another doesn’t mean it’s the same in Wicked. You’ll build your own STR build based on which gear you choose, which runes you pick, which enchantments you go with, which gems you use on top… there’s plenty of options. I’ve made the mistakes with skill trees before and I have the scar tissue to prove it. Our system is very similar to what we did with Wisps where we moved from our B…

Day and night cycle

Day / Night stuff will be mostly cosmetic for the Early Access release. We have plans for the future, but this stuff isn’t supported yet and won’t be ready for EA Launch. But yes, we’ll do more interesting things with Day / Night cycles in the future for sure

Fast stealth walking

Hm, yeah, we’ll want to do quite a bit more on Stealth! We’ll also have more enchantments in the future that’ll allow you to make completely unique stealth builds. Keep the feedback coming!

Maybe this early access Is too early

Folks, I understand the concerns some of you have regarding Early Access and us launching into Early Access was obviously something we’ve discussed internally up and down and frankly, I’m extremely glad we chose to go with EA and our current development approach As you all know, we always had big aspirations for No Rest for the Wicked and if we had to just go with another boxed product, we’d never have been able to do all the things we still want to do with Wicked. Early Access to us does…

Answering some Frequently Asked Questions!

Hey folks, Casca sent us some questions from the community he collected, so I thought I’d take a few minutes to answer all of them Multiplayer and Console Release Multiplayer when? Will be there a coop finally? We’re working incredibly hard on finishing up Co-Op already. We don’g have a specific date yet, but Co-Op will be the next update right after The Breach. Is co-op just co-op or does that include pvp? While we’ve been playing PvP internally for quite some time now, th…

First Preview of our Class System

Hey folks, Posting this here so people can already contribute a little bit to what I’ve laid out. And yes, we will still make changes to all this and yes, some of this stuff you might not agree with (“Why is Barbarian set to Plate, have you ever seen Conan?!?!” ), but here goes: High-Level Class Breakdown Single-Attribute Classes (16) Strength (4) Brute Description: A savage fighter swinging single-handed axes with brute force. Weapon: Axes (One-Handed) Armor Type: Plate Warlord D…

First Preview of our Class System

Folks, this isn’t a detailed breakdown of the system yet - it’s literally just giving people a first idea of what the classes are that I’m thinking about and what weapon type / moveset they’ll have. You’ll still be able to mix and match and you won’t be locked in

First Preview of our Class System

I don’t know where this idea is coming from. Folks, if anything, the CURRENT ATTRIBUTE SYSTEMS lock you way more into one class. The new system we’re cooking up will not do that and you’ll be able to complement this one class with abilities from the other, etc. On top of that, we can allow players to mix and match skills way more easily this way. The intention isn’t to lock players into a class and then they can’t try new stuff, the exact opposite is the case. Let’s look at a practical exampl…

First Preview of our Class System

Nope, we’re not gonna do anything automatically for you. As I said, the idea is to do it like in Final Fantasy Tactics where instead of putting a few points into this or that, you pick from ‘abilities’ instead and then set up the traits you want on your character that can come from a variety of classes.

First Preview of our Class System

Yes, it’ll be the same as it’s now. Each Armortype will come with its own traits that can be unlocked, so if you wear a bunch of plate armor, you’ll get those traits, etc. I think people have a fear based on existing class systems out there that are insanely limiting, but that’s not what we’re doing. We’re just trying to improve upon a system that we use that’s become a standard and we just think that there’s a better way to do this stuff. That’s all.

First Preview of our Class System

Yup, ultimately the system we have in mind just allows for MORE freedom and player expression while simultaneously tackling some of the issues that just naturally come with attribute systems that nobody has solved yet. In comparison with FFT, we’ll not force you to make a hard jobs / class switch, which then changes your equipment - instead, we’ll just allow you to equip whatever you want (as we do right now already) and as you use your equipment, you will automatically advance that class and w…

Thank youuu!
Gaming journalist nah, I’d get tired immediately if it isn’t a game I’m invested in or I’m passionate about

[antshore]

Thank you very much for your hard work sir.

With their big ambitious, I wonder how they will manage the game’s memory. Considering all handcraft and not procedural generating, the memory would bloating

I hope Captain Gordon receive some love, like giving him small post to sit and handing the quest or have office somewhere, which he will travel between day/ night. He need proper treatment fitting his status as head military of Sacrament
