Dark Legends Pre-Launch FAQs

If there is an actual gas mask vanity, not like SL, that would be so sick. That and masquerade masks.

Look what i found

Excerpted from the journal of Eli Kriegberg - Apr. 20, 2014

My loyal Hunters… the roar of their voices as thousands of them recite The Oath in unison fills me with hope and fatherly pride in our accomplishments. They have come from all walks of life to become soldiers, protectors, and martyrs. Here in this ancient amphitheatre where the words of kings altered the destiny of the human race our words now shake the dust from the walls and renew the ancient struggle for freedom.

We will have freedom from those who oppress and enslave us. It is inevitable. We are right and pure.

I carefully chose words that will inspire them with my dream of the Final Victory. When I stepped onto the stage, their voices swelled and joined and rose so high that the heavens trembled at the sound of their faith and resolve. The fervor crashed upon me like a sea of righteous fire. Before my words took life, I was transported to the reason I stood there today… my reason for living… my innocent Anna.

My memory of that night remains perfect, as if the horror, pain, and loss were etched onto my eternal soul. That night everything changed. I found my love Anna, my reason for living and breathing, torn open by Scipio the Betrayer. Cruel Scipio. Twisted and perverted by evil, his wanton gaze fell upon my beloved Anna. To him, she was just another conquest...

I wonder if Scipio realizes that he raised the Wrath of Humanity from the pieces of my broken heart? Will he ever know that he caused the end of the Vampire Nation - I wonder.

Two years ago at GDC, Spacetime Studios CEO Gary Gattis spilled three iPhones onto a table in a crowded hotel lobby, inviting Ten Ton Hammer’s Ben de la Durantaye and myself to join him in a then super-secret mobile MMO project, Pocket Legends, the first of its kind. Little did we realize that Spacetime was just tuning up. At GDC 2012, Gary and friends demoed their third, most ambitious, and most bloody title yet, Dark Legends.

“This is easily the most violent game I’ve ever worked on,” Gary explained. Player feedback from Pocket Legends and Star Legends revealed a hardcore segment that wanted blood. Cue the trailer, complete with the sultriest rendering of “House of the Rising Sun” I’ve ever heard and a gusher of blood sucked into pale, pouty lips. The tagline: “Wanna play?” This is not your typical mobile game trailer fare.



Dark Legends is riding a wave of vampiric popularity stemming from Twilight and True Blood, though Gary is quick to note that Dark Legends draws much more from the latter than the former. (Gary’s promise: “No sparkly vampires.”) Skimpily clad hedonism dominates every moment of the game, from The Club (a social area where players can stash their stuff and pickup RMT goods like skimpy maid outfits) to active vignettes (actual cutscenes – rare in a mobile game - where players perform quick actions on an unlock timer such as glamming a target or stalking a neighborhood) to gameplay areas, where a variety of combat actions shows just how dark Dark Legends can be.

Combat in Dark Legends will be familiar to players of the first two Spacetime titles, with a few key differences. Health and energy pools have been combined into a single blood pool that (vampires being vampires) can be refilled by following occasional prompts to “drain” enemies. Draining causes your vampire character to rush forward and, not without some shudder factor, relieve your opponent of his or her bodily humours.

Your character’s other four attacks can be charged with a press and hold mechanic new to the Legends games. Skill trees allow players to specialize their characters for use in groups, and the map screen allows you to quickly see where your friends are playing and join in. Finally, achievements will allow players to track and compare their progress.


A look at a character models, combat, and powers in Dark Legends.

But the biggest differentiating factor is playfully gory and Gothic air that permeates the game experience. Gary explained that the story is culled from an original IP envisioned by one of Spacetime’s designers called Empire of Night. The setup is similar to the most recent Underworld movie in that humanity is aware of the existence of vampires and is actively seeking their eradication. A human, Kriegsburg, experiences terrible loss at the hands of vampires and declares a sort of jihad against them. Some humans turn to the dark arts to further this aim, and werewolves are (of course) thrown into the bargain.

Players are at the core of the conflict, alternately trying to survive and to further the bloody-minded aims of the emerging vampire nation. And if you’re ready to take a step toward the seductively sanguine in your mobile MMO gaming, you won’t have long to wait. According to Gary, Dark Legends will be in beta within two months (SAM is awsome this is wrong), then will release first on the Kindle Fire, then Android, then iOS and the Chrome browser soon after that.

Our thanks to Gary Gattis, Fernando Bianco, and the Spacetime Studios crew for taking some time out of hectic GDC schedules to update us on the darker side of mobile global MMO gaming.

New Info

And in the Unbound Gamer article at http://www.unboundgamer.com/_/dark-l...iew-r1667?pg=1 talks about the release date, saying:

Spacetime Studios is now on the cusp of releasing Dark Legends, which is set to launch in about a month.

The bottom line is that Dark Legends is coming soon. We've been deliberately vague about the exact release date or details (because such is not set in stone... yet!)

So ppl, dont get mad if not on the 15th...have a good day

Man keen you really put some effort into this.thread.
Thanks for updating it and keeping us posted.

[Growwle]

STS should just say that it will be done when it is done, similar to what certain other popular game developers used to say back when they cornered the market and had the luxury of not having to rush products to market.
