Pax Dei

in General Discussion
Has anyone peeped Pax Dei? New UE5 MMO starting a closed alpha soon.

Looks to be aiming for some of the same pillars/features as AoC - medieval, sandbox, highly-social, city-building, risk vs. reward ("The further you journey from home, the stranger and more dangerous this world becomes.")

Still a lot unknown though (just looking at the website/teaser videos). Like I'm not sure how open the world is, or how much focus there will be on PvP. Combat looks super simple, but again, not much info to go on. No mentions of anything like Nodes and Caravans specifically, but quite a lot of talk about building up a city/civilization. And some talk about everyone having a role in the economy.

A huge difference seems to be their attempt at offering very casual ways to play or at least be a part of the growing towns, especially since they want it to be cross-platform eventually, including mobile/tablets.

My main concern then is that the combat doesn't get any deeper or more challenging than, say, New World. I think they want to support both ends of the spectrum from chill to hardcore, but the teasers offer basically nothing to show off the hardcore side.

Seems cool enough to try out. Y'all got any hot takes or profound insights?

    And there are no NPCs,quest, market and cities. You pay to game, but you have to entertain himself . The game is more like NW than AoC

    Don't believe anything anyone says until they truly show what they have. This applies to Ashes as well. What I saw in Pax Dei vids was just the same marketing stuff that you can see in a lot of "the biggest and best game that will ever be" promos. Except in the end those big and best games get downscaled to all shit, their visuals become way worse and they have abysmal functionality and very plain design.

    Ambition dies at the hands of reality, as has been proven by almost every even semi-ambitious game project in the past 20+ years.

    Cautiously hugely intrigued. That combat though. Lookin like Mortal Online 1 pre alpha, garage version. But I'll even take that at this point. Game looks good and I like a lot of what they're saying in their answers to questions.

    Pax Dei means New World and thats exactly the vibe I got off from the video as well. Scam mmo.

    Looks promising. If they nail the combat and actually deliver on the social aspect of things, it might be worth a try.

    It looks like they've got a lot of experienced MMO developers on board, and it's already fully funded, so I'm happy to wait and see.

    Tons of unknowns, more than willing to give it a try. I pretty much try every new mmo release these days.

    It looks gorgeous. AoC in Ue5.1 will be gorgeous. I do love the unreal engines. Learning more about Pax Dei myself.

    If the combat feels and is shit and offers nothing, I can safely put it down because I wont waste my time finding out if the other systems feel like shit and offer nothing.

    That said, it's too early to tell.
