Crowfall

The Crowfall site has been updated with a brand new archetype preview, this time featuring the Ranger. Rangers are given the ability to hide, set traps and are a blend of melee and ranged gameplay.

The Crowfall team is ready to reveal everything they've been teasing for the past month or so. Called "Crows & Vessels", the concept begins with players being an immortal soul that can possess various bodies like their vessels. Progression has been taken from the character level to the account level. Skills learned on one character benefit all characters.

The next Crowfall testing period is scheduled for February 2016 and will bring both destruction and capture mechanics into the client. Yes, that's right: Players have a license to run rampant destroying the environment as two teams take it to one another for dominance on the battlefield.

The Crowfall site has been updated with a new look at the skill system, something that the team hopes will allow players to feel less shoe-horned into a particular way to level up and find a more customizable system that gives them individuality.
