For me this a textbook example of feature creep... they should have concentrated on building the core game the promised in the kickstarter. Maybe add more planets if possible. Everything else should come later in free expansions. But i guess Chris Roberts wants a "real universe", not just a...

So something like a Diablo-MMO?

http://massivelyop.com/2015/06/15/av...lls-game-code/ If you really want, you could buy it... or maybe ask Utnayan if he is interested

I wonder why storybricks-tech was never used in any other game? How long have they been developing that stuff, 3-4 years? Did SOE have exclusive rights to the tech?

Wasnt there talk about baddies targetting the most dangerous PC ("kill healer first"?). And NPCs calling for help, NPC camps moving to other spots if attacked too often? Bip public events ("baddies invading an area"?). I guess it was just too CPU intensive in an MMO environment to pull off. Or...

Well, seems to me the team and the project in general right now is in the best shape ever. All the crazies are gone, the people left are actually working and making substantial progress. From my point of view Joppa is exactly the kind of person they needed the most, someone who "cracks the whip"...

Oh yeah! Start over again! Use the code from try 1 or 2, buy 38 studio art assets and put them in the forgelight engine, slap some eq names on the map and.... profit? At this point the IP is pretty much burned out. They need a good game, no more, no less. Wont happen if you ask me....

Lol, Otherland is basically the Ut-game already done, back to the drawing board Ut, next idea please

You guys will hate me for this, but another option for an all-in-one, affordable MMO engine is HeroEngine Probably the fastest and easiest way to start building the MMO-game and not worry about getting the software/server/client/versioncontrol stuff to work.

The dropoff is normal, first and last 3-4 days are usually pretty good, in between its really slow. If they get 20-30k every day until the last days they cant complain.

2 more things: 1.) If you think about using Atavism, research if it supports everything you need. I was thinking especially about action combat and different rulesets for different worlds. 2.) If more people want to work on the MMO you need some kind of integrated team-software/version...

I guess what this means is everybody who wants to really participate has to buy at least a starter license to use the plugin system within their own unity software. The 200 users is probably the number of concurrent connections (players) to the server (playable game).

Atavism is a Unity plugin: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/19339

If they design them right, EK can be really important for the trade/craft aspect. Something like which guild/player controls the "Jita" of Crowfall. A really big and well know EK with lots of traders/crafters and a big population trading at all times. As the Monarch can set taxes and control...

On the topic of EK/campaigns: For me, EK is the "Highsec" of Crowfall. A place to chill between campaigns, to show off your tropies, to craft, to trade stuff and to prepare for the next campaign. I am ok with this, no need to put more features into it, at least not until the different...

Questions for the interview: - How big are the campaign worlds? How many people can join a campaign? Is it more like a traditional MMO server in size, or a lot smaller (or is it defined by the campaign parameters)? - If the worlds are smaller, how do you prevent big guilds from "rigging...

I wonder how the "matchmaking" will work. Can i join/leave any campaign in the different "tiers" (dregs, infected, shadow, etc.) any time i want? Do i have to choose a god at char-creation and can only play for his faction+his higher faction of good/evil/neutral? Any detailed info on these...

Did the 150 early bird special for now. Looks like good value with 1 year VIP access + alpha2 + 5 char slots (i am an althoholic, cant help it)...

I hope no one from the original "dev-team" will ever work on Pantheon again, they were the wrong kind of people for the project. The ones working on Pantheon right now seem to have much more enthusiasm for the game (and get shit done on top of that).

So... Pantheon releasing before EQN? Crazy times Game looks good enough for a "indy-dev", i would have no problem at all playing it based off the visuals, at least if the player/armor/monster models are on par with the environment. What i would like to see is progress with the game systems...

Over the weekend i loaded up Rift to fool around a bit and chat was buzzing with people coming over from eq2 especially. They said they were looking for a new game because EQ2 is done... for them at least ( and they dont want to play WOW because they hate it). Mr. Hartsman will be happy

welp, already posted...

So, 7 month after the KS we get a vid with brad running around some not completely bad but still really unfinished unity-asset zones... pfff.. not impressed. Ok, they can run around with other people and can attack monsters, so the client/server stuff is up and running i guess. What about the...

This storymode xp-boost is really tempting, but i have no time before the end of the year (getting ready for WOD & playing D3+PoE in between is more than enough). I hope they will do this again in the future, like double xp weekend. They could just activate the boost for a month for subscribers...

Lol, you guys bitching about the WOD backstory.... lets see, what do we have in other well known MMOs atm? GW2 - elder dragons awaken to destroy the world Neverwinter - dragons invade to destroy something ESO - demon lord invades the world and wants to destroy it WS - elder race vanished...

Nothing to do with Pantheon, but as there is really nothing to talk about, another Indi-MMO, Project Gorgon just started their KS: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...proach-to-mmos You can even play an alpha right now for free, take that Brad

http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wik....22_an_MMOG.3F Is "Elite: Dangerous" an MMOG? Elite: Dangerous is an MMOG, but with the important addition, that you can choose if you want to meet other players or not and there is even a mode to play fully offline. The game features a shared...

- Multi-year experience developing & running an MMO - in depth experience of running a KS campaign - working for free What more could you want????

Well, as long as Brad gets over 2k$ a month for free (and is satisfied with the amount), why do anything more then absolutely necessary? I guess we will see Vanguard community servers released long before we get to play Pantheon. Yeah i know, Pantheon will probably simply fade away long before a...

Rerolled kickstarter terrorists (also, Brad) take note: http://stratics.com/category/games/project-gorgon/ Looks like they will start their 2nd KS-try on July 31.... Edit: You can also try the alpha right now for freehttp://projectgorgon.com/play-now/

Has this been linked already? Pantheon - State of the Game 7-9-2014: https://www.pantheonrotf.com/blogs/1...he-game-7-9-14 At least it will be interesting to watch what they get done, how long it takes, if there is a playable game at the end and if its more fun than all the current MMOs

You guys still talk about this legal bullshit? Haha.... The original super pro industry veteran devs that left had over 2 month to think about doing something... more than enough time to get legal counsel etc. I guess no one of them did even that, because at most they had to still get a few...

The way i understand it: Chat, guilds, trade, economy, story will be "unified" (on the official server) just like EVE, meaning it seems like one "megaserver". The actual flying around will be instanced so it is mostly lagfree (important for a "realtime"-dogfighting-game). Players per...

No no no, they should buy their own licenses so they can continue to work on their project (rename it first) after Brad fires them...

Haha, first thing i thought was "Hey, thats probably what Pantheon uses for its client/server tech...". Second thought was "HeyHey, now there is REALLY no more excuse for all the rerolled-armchair devs to not at least give us a playable prototype of their dream game...". So get on it guys...

After the failed KS, there was a very small window of opportunity (1-2 weeks) to get the project back on track. Scale down to 4-5 people and really work hard on a true prototype until the end of the year. Even after various expenses (software, legal stuff, etc.) and backpay for half the team no...

Yes, why not yell at them? Best example i can think of is the "art" we got to see...or not. Why not call the fucking "lead artist" and tell him if he does not produce 10 concept arts of the races in 1 week he is fired? They had 40 days of KS and couldnt produce some rough concept art?

You are right, the original dev team was shit, not worth any money. On the other hand, Brad is the boss, if he sees nothing gets done he has to step in and change that. Did he do that? Did he really care what his dev team was doing?

You are right, without Brad there would be no MMO-project "Pantheon". And the world would be better for it. What does Brad do? Its 3 month since the end of kickstarter... More than 6 month since he told us that he would delay the KS because then he could show us so much more of the...

Sooo, where is Brad? Whats his position on these latest developments? I mean, its his game&dev team, isnt it? Every supporter counts and all that...?
