The Sky gave me an little idea. A hybrid sandbox TPS Moba openword RPG game.
A fantasy battle in the sky over floating islands using huge winged creatures.
Putting some tower defense and Beat 'em up elements for leveling up would not look bad.
That’s definitely beautifully made but it’s mindless and gets boring after one gameplay. It fits the new generation of players though, quick & easy cash for EPIC.
Some details about customization and character progression in this interview:

TLDW: You build card decks for your characters which will modify skills/behavior
for me its clearly (but can be wrong hehe) a Plant Vs Zombies Garden Warfare + Dota2/LoL but with other graphic style. Have cards too.
Only wait see something more than a clone with better and adult graphics.
The more I hear about it, the more excited I am. Especially with the emphasis on strategic and tactical gameplay!
Thing is… Where are the servers located.
Mobas are unplayable when you are far from server. You have to pay for Wtfast and all that bs.
If they don’t have servers in my region I won’t even download it to, and I’m quite sure they don’t if using Amazon services as EpicGames are used to.
Dota2 and LoL have servers around the globe, everywhere, and ppl still have latency problems. I feel like this game genre is fighting against nature; it requires instant reaction time, but internet goes opposite direction making game experience full of frustration.
Looks like hybrid top-down and 3rd person MOBA. How Epic kept it secret all this while is a mystery. But no wonder Fortnite development seemed “slow” (no offense to Epic) and UT4 went open source.
This could be massive for Epic, MOBA in E-Sports and especially in Asia in general… made with Unreal Engine 4 no less… Free to play will be, well, good on ya Epic, looks like you’ll have all the revenue you need for Unreal Engine 4, 5 and beyond.
Congratulations Epic Games! All the best.
I’m not a MOBA person, my favourite modern game experiences are the AAA first/third-person action adventure (eg. Assassin’s Creed). But this is INSTANT WIN for Epic, yes, monetarily too.
I strongly suspect Epic is testing the waters with the E-Sports aspect of Paragon. DOTA and LOL is insanely huge right now. Just look at the Twitch numbers and the prize pool numbers.
Amazing Kanizitas!!!
Another character?
I liked the choice in the PBR materials, very realistic look
Maybe a little retro in your mechanical parts
But it seems to work fine with a small amount of WD-40 .
Hope you plan zombies for the game, because every game needs zombies, even defiance have some!
Yep. no zombies, no success.
So we have Overwatch(Blizzard), Battleborn(Gearbox), and now Paragon(Epic)…
Got to go with Paragon, but **** the field is getting crowded. At least I will be back in the States by the time this thing launches so I have a passable ping. Stopped playing LoL primarily because MOBAs are so vulnerable to lag…
In case anyone wants a closer look at some of the characters

paragon gorgeous moba
We know it will be a gorgeous moba ever now please let us know the system requirement so I can plan my pc part purchase.
There’s no official system spec, but it isn’t that hard to guess. You’ll want a reasonable quad-core processor, mid-tier graphics card (i.e GTX450 or better) and at least 4GB of memory.
An i7-4790k, GTX970 and 8GB of memory would run the game just fine.
I’m really excited to try this, could be a great mash up of my favorite multiplayer genres.
I hope it will be very different from SMITE, Awesomenauts… Game looks , feels from trailers and i am checking every 10 minutes for Apha invitation… every day… Its just a special wondering, how good will the gameplay be, how balanced, how much fun the gameplay will be ( because sometimes it can be really boring or annoying… some stuff against fed enemies and stuff…) How the justice will look against players abusing others and trolling? How the buids (decks ) will be done ( i hope, that it will not be like in LoL or Hearthstone, where you have limited builds, which are powerful and the rest doesnt get so much attention… Thats why i played DotA 2, because you can always get really creative, builds exist, but the game works in such way, that nearly every build ( which is not too stupid ) can always work as long as you can think how will you play and if you do all the stuff that build requires etc. Also, guys working at epic games, please, make the game how you want it to be, because if you look at many games ( mainly MOBAS ) you can see how the game got destroyed, just because they were changing the game and the gameplay how it was mostly played, so now the game forces you to do the one thing and there is no other space. I feel like i am kinda talking a bit **** right now, but if you think about it, its true. I just love this game so much and i cannot stop thinking about the strategy, heroes, playstyle, competitive gameplay, new modes and other stuff… This freakin thinking got me such a low marks in school, that it better be worth it…
I’ve seen the trailer maybe 50+ times and i cannot stop loving this game, i am so much into playing the Paragon only… atleast for few months… It just looks and the way how its made, the map, heroes, graphics, mechanics, builds are made is so , that i am just pumped with awesomeness by just looking at the trailer… Why have they made such a beautiful game??
Also how many heroes, modes, maps, ranks do they want to have? Probably nearly the number other mobas have 100 heroes, 5 maps, 6 ranks, 4 modes ( ← its late now, so i just guessed a few numbers… dont judge me, i was watching paragon trailer for last 20 hours, of course i will not be mentally fine when i dont have the Alpha access… )
It would be great if the testing sessions lasted longer than a few hours, who has time to test it, been invited twice and ive been at work both times… Seems like a waste
Paragon
I really dont know what can we all expect from decks and cards… Mainly you can expect just stuff like in any other MOBA, builds, so i am kinda afraid, that there will be one build for every single hero and that will be all… Or if the cards will be balanced enought, i would love to just build cards by what enemies you have, how good your teammates do etc. But i really really expect, that there will be something like in Hearthstone, or HoTS, people will use only few cards ( like 2 cards from 10 ), because those few cards will be 2 times more powerful than others… But to be honest, it all depends on how the game will be developed and how well they will hit the perfect spot for the game to be balanced. So right now, there are only expectations and me and hopefully others will want more freedom with creating your own build and metas, which will not be much less powerful, than builds of others, or topdecks…
I very much understand, that this is a big task, so those are just hopes… Even if this game would not be perfect and unbalanced, i am gonna love it and play it a lot…
GL with developing a perfect game :3
