Questions for here or the next Q&A Aradune: -How disposable will our gear be? I'm sick of tossing gear so quickly I don't even remember where it came from. We all had those slots in EQ that we wore from level 10 to level 50. Along with very memorable gear such as Sol Ro armor quests, epic...

Brad McQuaid talks Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, Kickstarter campaign launches today | PC Gamer

....is there something else you NEED to know beyond that?

I hope it doesn't have whack-a-mole / rotation based damage in the first place. Pretty sure it will though. I thought even VG was too much of constantly spamming buttons (although I only played one class). It had cool stuff, but still left no time to be social while fighting.

Since Aradune signed up here, has there gone more than say..2 minutes where this thread isn't at the top of the forum? We don't even have a kickstarter yet! The best thing about him signing up is I can just skim quickly looking for his avatar to see if I should stop and read.

I expect that when I click the mouse, that it loads the arrow. As I hold the button, it starts pulling it back for a more powerful attack, until it's all the way back. Then I can release when I want, and the mob takes damage. Instead what happened was, I'd click the mouse and Game.Random()...

As a monk on live and P99, yes - pulling is tons of fun (for the puller). However, as a mechanic, I'd agree with Draegan that it's dumb. Why do the other creatures happily stand around when their camp is being attacked, that they can plainly see? I'd be fine with seeing it go the way of...

Asked on SA, asking here: For the guys in - is bow combat improved? Does the bow comat have a TES feel to it, or is it still that disjointed mess of 'what the hell is happening' that it was last beta? If it's improved, I might bother to reinstall.

I wouldn't mind instancing if it was restricted to raid content. But no story instances, no starting in an instance, and for the love of baby jesus, no instanced group content. Let dungeons be dungeons. If there's an instance to go into the big dragon room at the end? Then fine, I'll deal if...

Rogean flat out said a new server, at this time, is NOT happening. They don't have the manpower and resources. They're 100% heads-down on Velious. However, they've implemented features in such a way as it's a toggle to turn them on/off they claim. Noone can predict the future, but one of the...

That it trivializes travel. People enjoy travel making the world feel big, kills a lot of the class interdependency, therefore the highly social nature, that EQ had a lot. Also it makes travel super safe, while it was quite dangerous in EQ (unless again, you got certain classes to help you, or...

Karanas actually had tons of stuff to do in them. They were just large, and they're from the day when class specific quests where all over the place (compared to WoW, which finally killed all class-specific quests). Go do some Sol Ro armor, some epic quests, you'll visit the Karanas all the damn...

I think we're missing something very important - why doesn't Brad have an awesome avatar yet? Or even just a screenshot of Aradune :3

If we're worried about limited load outs, I'd like to see the same applied to melee. I was playing my monk on live some, on Test...and I have like 20 buttons now. All "discs" that were originally more of "oh shit" buttons, which have now completely replaced innate skills (like kick, round...

Heh, on SomethingAwful, people were giving away keys so people could see how bad the game was, to keep them from buying it. That's AWESOME.

I think a lot of the big things from a high level have been covered, but I'm only able to skim -thread moves to fast. I really hope to see, from a non-systems point of view: -Narrow windy dungeons that get tougher the deeper you go, with the best loot, with some big crazy thing at the end to...

I think it'd be worthwhile to put what little information that is out there in the first post - basically quotes from Brad from here and twitter. This thread moves stupidly fast for a game that doesn't even have a KS going.

Sure, more availability increase will happen. But the availability of items is already sky rocketed higher than classic ever did, due to being in the same expansion for far too long, endless poopsocking and farming of items, etc. There's been enough fungi tunics looted to swim in them, but it's...

Pretty sure they mean "additional" programmer.

ZOMG NEWS! I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic here, but I don't think I can. I want to go full-on excited hype train mode for, what, 3-5 years that it'll take before we have something to play? Awesome that Brad signed up. I said "hi" to him back when he rejoined the VG team briefly :3...

Why are people responding to the p4r link like it's real? Hilarious though. Also, Forbes game writers may be shitty, but yeah - his headline might as well have been "water will still be wet in 2014".

In EQ they wrote their own everythings too - now they're using Unity 3D which saves a lot of time (aka money). The costs are 100% not comparable.

Dammit, came back to tons of new posts, I thought some info had been released.

And thusly I take off mine pantaloons, revealing both male and female feline genitalia!

What, no voxels?

There are currently no doors, but they have said there will be doors. Same as with water. I doubt either will be in the alpha when it launches, but I'd hope by beta it would be.

The graphics in the game aren't like...Skyrim levels of detail or anything obviously, but they look quite nice for what they are. The newer content (especially starting with Rohan) sees a real bump up in detailing as well. The textures, poly count, and amount of objects in the world really make...

Sounds like Brad's going to be the one who makes a deposit....

I've donated to exactly zero kickstarter / same-thing-as-kickstarter-but-we're-cutting-kickstarter-out-of-the-loop-pay-us-directly-for-alpha-access funds before, but as long as what is being pitched is interesting to me and there's a reasonably-low-cost entry that has the basic "gets you the...

I hadn't heard that, that's pretty awesome.

It absolutely could be, depending on what tools and tech they're using. If they're creating everything in-house from scratch, absolutely not. However, if they're using existing tech, it's definitely possible to have some rough models up, some rough UI, some rough landscape to run around in. We...

I don't think they have, no. However, once Velious content is out, tested, "balanced", and their "to-do" list is all cleaned up, I could see them starting a new "classic-like" server. The mechanics and behavior and systems would all be Velious-era, but restrict the content according to the...

It's based on dreams and wishes!

Yeah, Smed's totally a great person to listen to with regards to dates!

New trend - enormous helmets and belts.

With Brad off-camera going RAWRRRR YOU RUINED YOUR OWN LANDS YOU'LL NOT RUIN MINE!!!

MF pretty much nuked from orbit officially (not that we haven't seen it coming):Magic Find on PTR - Forums - Diablo III

"The game is so terrible we leveled multiple 50s"

I took his posting to be referring to alt classes, not an alt toon. Because alt classes are horrible - all dungeons or FATE grinding, no solo quests to break it up typically, because most people use those on their first class.

Poor girl, she seems super nervous and twitchy.
