Chunky dude was solid as a host, but the guy with the schnozz is so uncomfortable on camera, it makes me uncomfortable watching it.

This is potentially something to be excited about, we'll see, but yeah, "very early stage of development"....so at least 5 years. One of the main Riot guys a few years ago was talking about them making an MMO with the playstyle somewhere between WoW and Wildstar, so a little more twitch based...

Smedley apparently has something cooking with Amazon, maybe that's the new hope...?

I'm completely baffled by whatever that is Brad just typed out. It's some sort of mash up of selling his game, throwing out some ideas, defending and questioning some of their own decisions to this point, and kind of asking for constructive criticism. It was not coherent at all. I have kept...

This is generally my thought process as well. I enjoyed EQ1, EQ2, and Vanguard. All games Brad had a heavy hand in developing. He's batting 1.000% for me. I'm fairly confident this game won't live up to my hopes, but that it will still be something I find enjoyable to some degree. In the...

Chris was hired as the music producer originally. He did an interview in July 2016 where he talked about taking over the project. They still say this is a niche game for the old school market. They are very consistent about that. However, they also don't want to simply claim this is for EQ...

I buy into the its only been two years of stable production theory. Maybe leasing Unity shaves a year or two off. Industry standard is 5-7 years for an MMO. I think it will be 3-5 more years. If they partner with a publisher and hire some junior animators and extra artists, it could speed...

It hasn't been five years. Chris took over in 2016. 3 years. And I'm sure the beginning of that time period wasn't ideal as they still largely had a rag tag group of volunteers but mostly no actual employees, so the team had to be formed and weeded out. In interviews, Chris and Kilsin have...

It's written a little poorly, but what he meant is that if you upgrade your pledge past the $250 tier (the lifetime sub KS tier), you can get the modern pledges and awards that come with them while keeping the lifetime sub as well. You don't have to actually pay more just to continue to keep...

I'm still cautiously optimistic. There's no reason not to be. The project as a whole, as well as the actual team, is growing every few months. Brad is essentially a PR marketing name at this point only, Chris Perkins is running the project, and I do have some actual faith in him. The CEO is...

Whatcha gonna do with that account? You remember what your pledge was called?

Jacksonville FL here. Hasn't rained in 30 days. Might have had a brief sprinkle somewhere in there. Has been hell keeping the grass and shrubs/greenery alive in basically straight 100 degree heat for that entire stretch. Looks like we should finally get some rain tomorrow and potentially for...

I hope he has the final two books finished. A deal like that with HBO actually does make some sense. This is definitely in the hope territory for me, I have had this thought many times over the last few years and with that actor sounding very certain about it, I'm pretty hyped.

I'm not sure these other GoT shows are going to go the way HBO thinks they will. Without rock solid source material, and what's left is pretty limited, the only thing that has been proven is that the writers for these types of fantasy shows suck when forced to create cohesive plots on their...

Glad the show is wrapping up, it has turned to utter shit.

Thought the episode delivered, that was really intense and impressive for a TV show.

I try to float in the middle on this thing. Some days I feel like it's not going to happen, some days I feel like it is. The most recent stream was probably their best stream to date, so I'll give credit there. The stream had the same boss fight from before, but at least showed a different...

Monty, what exactly is Brad's role in this project? He seems to give answers that are opposite of what Chris Perkins says most of the time. Is there a power struggle there at all? Is Brad kind of just a figurehead at this point used for name recognition? He seemed to admit he doesn't...

Does the ongoing interest and continued "success" of these games today make Daybreak less likely to develop a true successor Everquest game in the near future?

I went into this movie never having even heard of Shazam outside the previews. I fully expected this to be absolutely stupid. I was wrong, I thought it was great. I left the theater completely happy with how that movie went and hoping for a sequel. Pretty similar response I had to Aquaman...

Yeah, I was a little surprised he actually answered that question. I think that's going to stir up some chatter for the next month. That being said, EQ didn't really need Odus. And Vanguard didn't really need Kojan. I hope they go the two large continent route and just drill down on making...

Christ, this level of nerd rage reminds me of Pantheon Vanguard beta when I was leading Voodoo and we were going at it with Ebonlore non-stop up to and through launch. Shammus, Nerion, and Ewle were even worse than you guys sniping at each other though. This is kind of rookie ball.

On a scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), what is your current level of optimism for Pantheon becoming a great raiding MMO in the mold of EQ1 or Classic WoW?

They kind of hyped up this lead animator guy in teasers leading up to the January newsletter. Does anyone here know if he matches the hype or not? Obviously the position is important and one of the more glaring deficiencies in the game currently, but I know fuckall about the intricacies of...

Newsletter a tad concerning, or I guess more affirming. Since the Pre-Alpha stages have been every 3-4 months and they are saying the next one will be pushed back a bit, that sounds like the next Pre-Alpha 5 stage will be in the summer of 2019. That's a delay no matter how you slice it. I...

I thought meetup dot com was to hook up with truckers and get a cock meat sandwich behind a rest stop? Oh well, give it a shot etchazz, let us know how it goes!

I loved EQ1, and I loved Vanilla WoW. Loved them both. Thought both were incredible games. Played both for years. Left WoW before TBC for Vanguard's beta. When Vanguard launched as an unplayable bust, I went to EQ2 for a couple years. My wife loved that game, that's her favorite. And at...

Grim, you are losing the Pantheon forum game. Don't take the bait.

The stream last night was actually pretty good. The Alexensual guy is a total shitlord, extremely jaded MMO vet, and WoW Classic fanboi, so I was curious how he would respond to this game. Thought he asked some rather pointed questions in the stream and has been pretty even-keeled about if the...

There is some synergy. The Shaman can make mobs drenched, the Druid auto crits on drenched mobs with it's lightning ability. Summoner can summon a behemoth that the Enchanter can charm. Druid has an innate ability that allows other healing classes to bounce their heals to additional targets...

And these last few posts have really nailed what is riding on this game. No matter how much fun or crap we give them for taking too long to make the game, they have to just take however long it takes to make sure the launch is superb. They have no publisher pushing them to force the game out...

Game started development in early-mid 2015 when Chris Perkins revived the dead project, drastically changing almost everything about it but the name in the process, and it then slowly started to form the new game on the backs of a skeleton crew for the first year. The last two years has seen...

That's an interesting point for consideration. The way they've ran the Pre-Alpha builds to this point is seemingly in yearly quarters. Each quarter, they spend three months making improvements and then open the servers up for about 30 days, give or take a few. Now, I don't know if the servers...

Alpha will start once the first continent, Kingsreach, is finished, along with all classes implemented, and all abilities/spells implemented up to level 40. This next phase, slated to start this fall, Pre Alpha 4, should have all classes implemented and all abilities/skills up to level 40...

So, it looks like some investor funded this thing to some significant degree. They dropped a few nuggets in today's newsletter: "Due to recent funding goals being met we are expanding the team once again". They are hiring four positions previously mentioned in this thread. Lead character...

Agree that I'm burned out on seeing Black Rose Keep, but the focus of the team to this point in time has not been world building, they stated as much. They've spent a lot of time this summer trying to get all the classes in the game and functioning, they do have a large selection of classes...

Sounds fishy. The only raid zone that they've mentioned is Amberfaet (sp?), and in one of the recent interviews from a few days ago, they suggested they weren't even attempting to work on raid content yet, nor did they guarantee any would be in for launch, just that people would have things to...

Florida Coastal, here in Jacksonville. Wouldn't call it prestigious. It is one of the largest in the country though. Do what you want with my "story", but it's the truth. Some of you folks must be allergic to honesty or differing opinions.

Not sure why I'd be dubious. This daughter goes to Univ. of Florida, they require you to take classes during at least one summer C term for graduation, and she's finishing up her second year (AP credits). I don't recall anyone making the claim that "college hotties" will be playing this...

Well, we'll see how Pantheon turns out, but this is one of the best forums on the internet, especially the Politics thread. If the kids get scared of dirty language and trolls, they have no chance in life. Sink or swim.
