Arcfall Revamped
As you may be aware, we have been very quiet for the past few months, and now it's my pleasure to tell you what has been going on with Arcfall.
As we have received great feedback from players from day one, we decided to take a step back and see how we could accomplish most of the things you all wanted. With that, we have had some major developments with regards to our tech, so we have moved Arcfall from a top-down play style to a full 3d game environment. With this move, a lot of bugs were fixed and it also opened up some amazing new gameplay systems. Unfortunately, with this, we will have to do a full character wipe, but the benefits will be well worth it. Another reason for the wipe is we are redoing the combat and skill progression system from scratch. With the new system, a player will gain experience points in crafting on every item he crafts. Certain higher-tier items will give more experience points than lower tier items. Skills will increase their level depending on how much experience points are needed to level them, this is based closely on the same progression system for a character XP leveling, but linked directly to the actions a player takes.
With combat, we will be introducing AOE abilities and mobs will have defensive abilities to counter attacks from players. With the new 3d view, we can use better effects that will trigger in-combat, making the feedback to players more enjoyable, as they strike a blow or cast a spell. The new tech also introduces a proper navmesh system allowing the server to know exactly where every player and mob's position is at any given time. This will streamline combat further as mobs will have AI, which will tell them to walk around objects to engage with players in a more realistic way.
The whole world is being rebuilt from scratch with beautiful sceneries which allow us to bring the Lore of Arcfall to the players in a more enjoyable way. Another new thing that is added is arenas which will allow players to test their skills against other players.
As we make this transition from top-down view to 3d view and the new technology, the servers will be down from Friday, August 17 until September 22 when we will be launching the new world. All players who have purchased Founders packages and coin in our in-game store will have those items renewed for you to spend on new items. We hope you are as excited about this new step in Arcfall as we are and look forward to playing alongside you on September 22, fighting dragons or taming one.

Arcfall Update and Changes
With the next update coming to Steam on the 6 April, we have decided to make Arcfall Free to Play. Because it already has an item store, it will not change any of the core design but will allow more players to enjoy the game. For those early supporters who bought Arcfall through Steam up and till the 6 April, we want to thank you for your early support of the game by giving you 400 Arcfall coins to use in the item store. This has a real money value of around $30. With this update we also have added more coin and items to the Founder packs to say “Thank You” to the founders.
For those interested in getting a founders Pack you can visit our website store for more information: www.arcfall.com
This update will have the map expanding with 3 new Bioms to explore and 3 new dungeons. We have added all the resources you can learn in the skill tree to the world with tons more items to be crafted. An experience system has been added to allow us to present lore through quests to the players in a more fluent way. Experience levels will only influence a character’s health and mana, but all other stats are still linked directly to your skills. This makes Arcfall a combination of both Skill-based system and a XP leveling system, bring the best of both worlds together. Players will also be able to gauge enemy mobs before they attack them by the mob’s XP level.
This will be our biggest update until now and we are very excited to share this with you. With the free to play system being introduced, you will be able to invite all your friends to join the adventure.
