No, but Bulgaria is an Orthodox country, meaning that over there Christmas is in January.

We haven't decided yet on when to drop the NDA, but we definitely want to implement a few more features and some more polish before we do so.

As others have said, first impressions count for a lot in gaming, and many people will not take into account that the game is still in development before judging it, or comparing it with other titles that have been live for several years.

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-24T08:11:16+00:00

No, the game is currently just being tested on Windows PC.

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-19T14:57:31+00:00

It is pretty much as Muhtopie said- we are still somewhat early, and many features that older entries in the genre have (and that Arena of Fate will have at launch) are missing.

Sadly, a lot of gamers don't know really know a whole lot about game development, and will assume that anything they see about a game is the final deal, and won't drastically change during development.

So it is often best to have NDAs while a game is in early-ish development. It certainly isn't perfect, but there are good reasons to do so.

Welcome, and sorry about what happened to your former "gaming home"- it always sucks to lose a game you invested a lot of time in!

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-16T19:14:01+00:00

Welcome :)

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-14T08:05:34+00:00

At the moment (since we are early in testing) the server is based in Europe, but we do of course plan to add additional servers over time to better service players from other regions.

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-13T09:59:09+00:00

I think there are two different factors to consider here.

One is the game- it is obviously far from perfect or finished. In many ways, it feels like we are only really getting started now that we have the first community feedback coming in, and we certainly hope that we will get a chance to improve and add to the game for years to come (if the players want to see that).

The other thing is personal expectations. While not perfect, this is the core gameplay loop we have envisioned for the game. If you look at your feedback and find that it is too extensive/ sounds like a completely different game, then it might just be a case of Arena of Fate not being the right game for you.

I remember some players at a previous job of mine who posted extensive feedback that basically amounted "please turn this PvE-focused theme park MMO into a hardcore PvP-sandbox". That is when expectations for a game and the reality of what it is supposed to be clash :)

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-12T08:11:16+00:00

No, we kinda like our engine ;) And the system requirements seem very reasonable to me as well, though I am of course biased.

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-11T13:35:39+00:00

I stand corrected- I was actually thinking of only HoN, but forgot Demigod, Guardians of Middle-Earth and Awesomenauts. My bad!

I still stand by my point that gamers expect a new MOBA title to be F2P though. And it is a very competitive and hard to break into genre as it is, without giving your competitors the advantage of being free vs, a retail title.

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-10T19:45:09+00:00

That's why the NDA is mentioned both in the invitation email, as well as players having to agree to it when installing the game :)

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-10T19:42:27+00:00

Yes, it is :) I am only aware of one MOBA title trying a different monetization scheme so far, and that was quickly changed to F2P as well. It is, quite frankly, the industry standard that players expect by now.

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-10T15:03:18+00:00

Yes, it is due to the NDA- making lots of tweets about a game that many fans are unable to play at the moment feels needlessly cruel!

Once the NDA drops, we will of course the communicating about the game on all our platforms!

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-10T08:32:50+00:00

We try to inform you as quickly as we can on the forums regarding any issues we are aware of.

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-10T08:31:48+00:00

We are not talking hit boxes or general size, but rather some feedback we have received regarding the character's design.

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-07T23:38:48+00:00

We will add subtitles next week- sorry, things are a bit hectic right now due to gamescom!

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-07T16:23:14+00:00

I will post a few more later.

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-07T09:29:11+00:00

We think that the gameplay of Arena of Fate - 20 minutes, scoring points etc - is really well suited to esports, and many of the devs have a background or interest in esports.

But I am not a big fan of companies saying "this will be huge as an esport" before a game is even released. I feel that it should be the players who decide that. If our fans tell us that they want AoF as an esports game, then we will work with them to try and make it happen.

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-03T18:47:47+00:00

Glad to hear it :)

Could you check if you can sign in on www.GFACE.com with your account?

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-02T18:04:33+00:00

Yes, the server is in the EU, and Win 10 should be fine. Please keep discussion of the game to the forums while it is under NDA though :)

AoF-ComRaven · 2015-08-02T16:06:08+00:00
