Sure, here's the deal: -The death penalty is being misunderstood by all the new testers. It's NOT an XP debt system, but everyone thinks it is. Even though it's not, or so they claim. -All the mobs under level 5 are overpowered and shouldn't be one-shotting (or two-shotting) new players. They...

What if, instead, they made an extraction game like Dark and Darker? Would you dump them, then? :)

Interesting development regarding one of the Pantheon team..

For those not following this latest development as closely as others.. Unofficial Pantheon Discord server invite link. Message link from June 21, 2023, where Kilsin requests to be removed from the Unofficial Discord Server Staff Role. The rest of the messages regarding the whole situation are...

well, they're on the right track (no, not really) https://seforums.pantheonmmo.com/content/forums/topic/14279/group-and-player-etiquette/view/post_id/272137 Answers from Kilsin regarding camps, kill stealing, and similar, April 23, 2023: -- Can a camp be owned? No Do you own the mobs at that...

Two possibilities, from where I sit in the cheap seats.. 1) They don't have access to edit the source code of the main rendering thread, in Unity. That requires an Enterprise license, and they don't have it. Without it, they have to deal with the absolute stuttering shitshow of the default...

Easy money on that bet. Their current crafting "dev" is just a community member who happened to run their own pantheon theorycrafting forums. Not a developer. Not someone who worked on another MMO before joining the Pantheon team. Not an MMO developer veteran. And.. Someone who absolutely...

Evercraft Online. It's an MMO with grouping required like EQ, but with voxels, and these crazy bastards had their last completely free public test on June 18th, 2022. That test was far more successful than anything Visionary Realms has produced in over 8 years, and it had more complete...

Correct, there is no publicly confirmed, enumerated, or stated persistence layer, yet. So far, ALL of the pre-alpha tests have been utilizing and demonstrating session persistence only. They have also, to date, only been scheduled for very brief periods. A few hours per testing session, and...

He convinces some very naive consumers to donate money to an 8+ year endeavor that is still in pre-alpha, and statistically has a near zero chance of ever producing a product or service you can subscribe to, download and play. And feeding the whales a few hours per year of scheduled testing...

Wow, I'm actually surprised. I would have thought USD$1000 would be the minimum required for this amount of emotional investment. You're a cheap cultist, Nirgon. :emoji_smile:

That's all I could think of too. This most recent post from Joppa_VR was cross-posted on their official forums as well. I've listened to the most recent podcast and read this and that, and.. Honestly? It's just more words and delay at this point. They can say whatever they want, but in a few...

:emoji_laughing: A wiki. Woo. How very 1995 of their fanbois. I guess Kilsin is too busy updating their massive, comprehensive FAQ on their official site. And not updating the existing wiki. Makes me wonder why they didn't just start adding adding more entries there? The sad part is...

This week, they started charging USD$14.95/month (Champion Subscription) or USD$200-$500 (Champion Pledge one time) for access to their official Discord server. I'm sure that will push the project to reach Alpha.. sooner.. :emoji_thinking: It seems reasonable to re-iterate there is no Visionary...

Yes, if you know what you're doing. They hardcoded everything into the client for years, and have never confirmed a dedicated server session layer or database persistence layer server. Not in any video, post, or interview. The fanboi's have all assumed they must have one now, because they ran a...
