Draft

I found http://www.shacknews.com/article/75242/forge-preview, which has some info on the Kickstarter and game history that could go in the "Development" section. If you find a good developer interview, you can use that within the self-published sources guideline. I didn't find anything too great, and it would preferably come from a reliable source. I'll make a few edits and add a {{cite}} template for the refs, if you want to use that format for the rest czar ♔ 05:11, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some questions (not to answer but to clarify in the text):

MMORPG-style or really MMO-style?
Do you need a hand with sourcing the basic gameplay? Or do you just need time to find the matching refs?
How can it be both praised for uniqueness and criticized for lack of imagination (uniqueness)?
Some of the Reception looks like it can go into Gameplay. Reception should be for what the reviewers felt was good/bad

More sources czar ♔ 15:29, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, czar asked me to leave a few words of encouragement to help you get started.. I'll leave a few comments to help improve this article and familiarise you with the VG layout (hope this isn't too much):

A list of platforms this was released on
"and Call of Duty" - and the Call of Duty series
The lede always acts as a "mini article" and should summarize almost everything
Sources should be renamed 'External links' - links at the moment don't work
"released by Dark Vale Games in December 2012" - released by Dark Vale Games on December 4 2012

Hope this helps and isn't too overwhelming. Looking forward to seeing the rest. ☠ Jaguar ☠ 19:44, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This looks like the start of an interesting article. ~~I've heard of player-vs-player combat, but I'm not entirely sure what it is. Could you link that term to another Wikipedia article that explains it?~~ [Strike that, I see you linked the term in the lede. That should be sufficient.] I have the same question about the "classes" to choose from. Are those player classes? Is there a Wikipedia article I could read to find out more about classes? Like Jaguar I'm excited to see this article as it develops! -Thibbs (talk) 21:30, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good start to an article! To expand a bit on Thibbs' comment- I'm familiar with the gameplay of Guild Wars 2, but even then, how is this similar? If I only played Candy Crush Saga and Monument Valley, I don't think I could really understand how this game works just by reading the Gameplay section here. Do you fight in real-time, or is it turn-based? Do I use abilities while standing still, or on the go? Is there a cooldown period, or do I just hit buttons as fast as I can? What does it mean, to help allies or hinder enemies? I guess I'm saying that the goal for a Wikipedia article is that I shouldn't have to come in with a lot of knowledge to understand the article- and really, if I come in with almost nothing, wikilinks to other articles should help me out. Try writing the section as if you're explaining the gameplay to your friend who doesn't play a lot of games, and see if that helps- would they understand what the PvP combat in MMORPGs is? Do they know what you mean when you say there are several classes? Things like that. --Pres N 04:27, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
