So you hated Star Wars then?

Class? No. Every race? No. Okay with job/profession. Gnomes tinker. Red pandas pirate.

How about calling it Embrace Stillness? Instead of FD. And we think of monks as being so in touch with the mystic force underlying the universe that they can bend and manipulate that energy, affecting the minds of weaker willed species. You know, like a boss Jedi. That also explains why the...

Tuco stealing your thunder LegumeGen?

Yeah he did not have what we call "the good listening skills.". Brad at least admitted some of his mistakes with VG. I don't recall Salim doing the same. That's the main reason I'm cutting Brad some slack with Pantheon. If Salim is on the team he needs to issue a mea culpa to the VG community.

Yep. He is not well liked. It wouldn't stop me playing as long he wasn't involved in lore or major design decisions outside of crafting. When he wad just working on VG crafting he was fine. You can find some of his old interviews on the net. But he got arrogant and unfunny when he became lead dev.

Tuco just likes fucking around with his admin privileges. No restraint, that one has. -Yogurt.

Linkedin still says SOE. Hopefully he sticks to crafting if he is on Pantheon. VG crafting in beta. The kamelott, kdw, content he added post acquisition was awful.

The pantheonrotf site is now owned by their company. Though I still want to know if Salim is affiliated with this game, if so he needs to be whacked in the head if he starts trying to "be funny" with lore, quests or NPC names. @Sgrant: the kamelott shit was never funny or even mildly amusing.

Don't go Jeff Butler on us (flipping out about needing clerics at SOELive). If you take out pulling you have to replace it with something else.. Spazzy AI, lots of cc, whatever. There is nothing wrong with one or two classes doing X best (tank, heal, cc, pull, etc) and other classes only able...

Looks like NewCo is Visionary Realms, Inc.

Sure the class system better, but Mobs were leashed so FD pulling was minimal and I ended up as an off off tank or dps. Pulling needs to be part of the design, but yes with multiple classes that can effectively pull: monk, bard, wtf, and pull in different ways. /aside in your FD 5x. That...

Group wise the puller should be bringing new mobs in as fast as the group can handle.

@popsicle you either have class interdependence and people get bored sometime waiting for a pull, a port, a rez, a sow, etc. Or you make an mmo where everyone can do everything and there is no class uniqueness or flavor or connection. I'll take the former.

@Quaid. Next time roll a puller: monk/bard. EQ classes worked with diff psych profiles: ADHD? Bard/Monk. Megalomaniac? Warrior. Unloved as a child/Need to be loved now? Cleric. Hate people? Necro.. @Draegen. Pulling works, stop suggesting unwieldy, stupid fixes to proven mechanics. Also...

You'd think right? But you'd probably be wrong. We'll see with the KS.

I'd like to see 16+ classes in at launch, seems a bit much though given their limited resources. What has to be in at release are at least 1 Tank, 1 Healer, 1 Melee DPS, 1 Magic DPS, CC and probably a Puller/Buffer/Utility class. So using EQ classes: Warrior, Cleric, Rogue or Ranger, Wizard...

Now that would be amusing.

Yes, as I understand, they have the DNA (or most of it), they don't quite have the Jurassic Park technology though.

The good thing about the kickstarter is that it will, hopefully do away with a few questions, concerns, comments, or other BS -instancing (yes/no, 50/50) -levels (probably yes) -flying mounts (no) -raiding (??) -group size -Initial classes -Stretch classes -Super stretch classes...

Way too much quest grind in Vanilla WoW. Beta 5 VG was a little better (less quests, but still had hubs). Which reminds me: for the love of God, let mobs drop quest items even if you're not on the quest. The single worst part of the quest grind is backflagging people because they are on...

Why?

DIAF

Mammoths are too useful to kill if they've been un-extincted.

Pretty much how I imagine the Zombie Apocalypse starting. @porkchop classic blunders like making a girl the main character in a script. Received wisdom is that leading men are the only ones who can fill seats.

I lol'd. Though I believe in Bradquest.

30,000 years is some serious freezer burn, so no.

Liberals are no fucking fun. Always gotta drag politics and talk shit. Fuck you if you don't want to know whether mammoth tastes like chicken.

I want myMTVMMO. Your reasoning gets me no closer to that MMO,thus it is ignorable.

Time to chew some Mammoth fat as we pass around the pipe of peace... Shit, no mammoth fat... Bring out the axes. See what happens when we extinct away a species Tuco? War instead of peace, I'd call that inconvenient.

Or liberal, as exemplified by your post.

Depends on whether Mammoth tastes like chicken or Kobe Beef.

Isn't Utnayan teaming with McQuaid one of the signs of the Apocalypse?

That's my point. If mammoth is tasty than we killed them off for dinner. If mammoth tastes awful then the boring global warming alarmists might be right about mammoths if nothing else.

Don't be "that" guy.

Brad is 1-1. The main issue I have is who is the moneyman on the team and is it someone who can make sure Brad stays focused.

For domestication, consumption or both?

Someone should use kickstarter for their bring back the mammoths project. NYT says 10 million to do it. Then we can resolve this question.

There were dwarf mammoths in Siberia and it was the last place they survived, but perhaps they survived there because it was relatively mammoth slaughtering human free.

I still haven't found a better 4x game than MOO2...
