The MMORPG Crowfall has revised its skill system at the players’ request. Now everyone can create their own build.
What changes with the new update? The currently ongoing beta of the MMORPG Crowfall has received a major update called “The Revival.” This fundamentally revises the skill system of the MMORPG. This aims to allow players to create unique characters tailored to their play style.
Create unique heroes in Crowfall
What exactly is changing? The developers want to give players more options for developing their characters so that they can easily express their personal play style. To this end, the team is expanding the character specialization system with an additional layer.
These are the domains. Domains provide players with the choice between 15 different bundles of disciplines. Depending on your class, you can select one discipline from a set of three.
Domains are thematically related to specific play styles, such as the Domain of War for fighters or the Domain of Shadows for assassins.
Disciplines can also appear in more than one domain. For example: If you want to wield the power of the ghost army, you need the primary discipline Grim Reaper. This discipline can be found in both the domains of Plague and Death… Thus, assassins, duelists, rangers, frost weavers, knights, and Myrmidons can choose it.
What does this bring exactly? Through the domains, it is possible to further specialize your characters by combining the disciplines from one domain with other powers and the promotion class, a kind of specialization.
This then allows for example poison buffs, through which you can poison enemies or stack additional poison enhancements to increase the effect. Thus, two players with the same subclass can differ significantly due to their disciplines. Crowfall could truly become one of the most exciting new western MMORPGs.
What do the developers say about this new system: The team explains that the changes came about due to player feedback from the beta. They wanted more options for customization:
This update is a tribute to our players, as it was their feedback that inspired us to innovate the system. The system allows players to be the architect of unique builds for their character – the power lies in the hands of the players, limited only by their imagination.

MeinMMO author Alexander Leitsch explains: “Crowfall is the MMORPG that New World should have been“.
