Title: Camelot Unchained Reveals it's 30 Classes
Post by: JamesGoblin on December 06, 2015, 10:37:51 AM
In a series of live streams that ended this Friday, Camelot Unchained (http://www.ign.com/wikis/camelot-unchained) revealed it's 30 classes (http://camelotunchained.com/v2/class-reveal-votes/), with three more (the Crafters - http://camelot.gamepedia.com/Crafting) to be revealed in a week or two.

The classes of Camelot are not mirrored between it's three Realms (factions - http://camelot.gamepedia.com/Realm), that is - each Realm will have 11 unique classes. Speaking of factions, CloakingDonkey's series of videos covers each class (separated in Trios, the way they were revealed) and it's connections to Celtic, Arthurian and Scandinavian lore - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBjjvcwG5KT2DJ2-7WclOD2B3rd170u1f; Say, here is the first one:

PS
The game is in alpha testing and still under the NDA (non disclosure agreement - tests are closed to non-backers, no streams etc.) which should drop as current major graphical overhaul ends and beta tests begin in Q1 2016.

Besides that, Newsletter 17 (http://us5.campaign-archive1.com/?u=2b70fd18d895dd960141bac55&id=ae20874c10) is out, same as yesterday's Evening Update (http://camelotunchained.com/v2/evening-update-wednesday-december-23rd-2015/), with my new favorite pic inside - Viking caravan (http://camelot.gamepedia.com/Caravans) master (naturally, I prefer TDD/Arthurians, but the image is kinda nice - so I hope you will forgive me this little betrayal).

And now, it's time for some controversy.

First of all, I have to make a little intro here before the crowd starts going "looks like crap!" (as many did on Youtube and reddits): this below is an alpha test footage, with pre-alpha low poly/texture models, animations (including even walking) are placeholders etc. - this is NOT the game.

What the video below is showing are some alpha biomes (first half) and 600+ players/bots fighting in a very small area, with high framerate, quite big rendering distance, hundreds of trees/bushes fully rendered etc. - at that point basically any other engine would crash and burn long time ago.

PS There is already quite lively discussion on MMORPG reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/MMORPG/comments/3y0pbo/camelot_unchained_alpha_gameplay_showcase/) about that video upthere, including some folks from CSE (the devs).

I'll play the class equivalent of a Priest, because that's what I always play.  Someone roll tank and lets rock this.

It's kinda tough to decide what exactly would be the priest.

 There is six healer classes (2 per realm), and I'd say that the Physician of Arthurians ( http://camelotunchained.com/v2/class-reveal-healers/ ) is the closest one!?
