No flight, first person. Maybe Sand Giants will actually feel big again. I'm banking on no flight, but predicting third person.

Here's my selfish and very small request: EQ tracking system.

EQ2 is a nightmare with hotkeys but I agree with Amaru, too. A lot of people hate on it, but I actually enjoyed some elements of it (Kunark expansion was a highlight for me). It doesn't help that by the time GW2 launched I'd been exhausted with the genre for years and I don't think an MMO has...

I can space out to that track for days. Instant nostalgia.

I know everyone's lost in a sea of theorycrafting, but I really hope the team does something nice with the soundtrack. I'm a sucker for a good OST and anxious to see who is handling that end of Pantheon. Whatever tier I back, that needs to be a part of the package.

Many of Brad's posts are in the OP. I need to update again soon.

Feedback is great and naturally you can't just write off what people say, but in truth I hope Brad and his team have a fairly clear vision in mind that they intend to stick to. I'm not saying to be completely rigid and unbending, but I'd rather see this be their world rather than a design by...

I feel like Kithicor is the zone to bring up when talking about danger in an MMO, lol. I do it all of the damn time. Also, just got another TESO beta invite again and I wish I could just exchange the shit for like a small video of Pantheon.

Check my post history.GAF did something similar for Project Eternity.

That's actually aReckoning shot. The Copernicus character models are much more angular.

OP updated, will continue to update with more stuff.

It's been said, but I feel like I could look up any number of super armor, sword wielding kings in a similar position. At least he's not lazily slouching because he's oh so tired of being a god-king.

Look, I'm a sucker for the visionary that helped bring me some of the realms I love most. Oh well, not like I have much else better to do. Let's see how many posts I filter through before throwing in the towel.

Well there went about 30 additional posts I need to throw into the OP.

That's basically what I wanted to hear. I'm all for diversity within a class and setting people apart, but the ranger should be the ranger at the end of the day. The more seasoned one may have honed his skills in a way that a second one hasn't, which earned him an ability that acknowledges that...

Here's to hoping that that freedom is still limited by a true class choice in the beginning. The Rift soul swapping stuff is just too much and I'm really hesitant to buy into EQN's multiclassing, be the wizadruidcromancer. Also, and maybe this dates back to me being a softy PVE guy, but I...

Put it in an up to date list and keep the OP current. I'm about to try and filter through this thread and slap in some noteworthy quotes and concept art. The amount of info we know now compared to when I started this thread has grown and it's about to grow even more.

Well, it definitely makes for an awesome story but I think it's the exception, not the rule. Nobody should expect Star Citizen money. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome that they accomplished that and it's still a great route to go, but getting even a fraction of that would be awesome for nearly...

Funding will be Kickstarter-injected crowd funding, or at least that's what I imagine the hope is. Get a nice financial boost from KS and have an "insert coins here" button on the main page. I'm sure various incentives will be involved and certainly levels of access will be put on the table...

Same, but that's what I still intend to do along with the concept art and logo.

Copernicus would have still been a poorly blown budget and a canceled project if the handout they already received tells us anything.

I can update the OP after work with the information I find relevant.

When you're selling assets you're probably hoping for positive critique.

Go home Curt you're drunk.

The UI looks incomplete and is probably janky. The game looks better in motion based on that one trailer but those shots aren't flattering at all.

Some screeshots I had never seen beforehere. Some of the areas look pretty bad.

I'd never say otherwise. The indie scene is getting wildly popular because of outside of the box thinking. It's thriving on Steam and the Humble Bundles are huge (there's even a damn store). Gone Home stole numerous GOTY awards from games like The Last of Us, which is crazy. That's not the topic...

If I had to guess they're working in someone's house, which likely has a home office. I could be completely and absolutely wrong though.

Maybe you're right though. If Vanguard was intended to be EQ2 in design, and EQ3 was scrapped in favor of EQN it would have been like VG2. That makes Pantheon VG3. Makes sense. My friend starting the Pantheon site is having major issues with it and I'm pretty sure he's shuttering it at least...

Wow, I can't believe I completely overlooked that first line before my original response. And you're absolutely right, Laura. Double Fine catapulted Kickstarter for gaming into the spotlight with DFA (now Broken Age) on the premise that it's an old school adventure. Many of the biggest successes...

I can't believe Lumie didn't count on their offices being flooded.

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. Let me try and clear it up: AAA titles try to have every box checked, indies have to thrive in a limited domain, unconventional or otherwise. The unconventional part is irrelevant. The entire basis of what I'm saying is that indies must be good at a...

Keep forcing it. Maybe it'll stick on the tenth post.

Yeah, disagree there. I get what you're saying because over the past however many years this industry has stagnated into a cloning fest, but we're entering a time when they're all about to try infusing different elements into their games that no indie developer could ever afford. It's why SOE...

It's the build up before the Kickstarter launch and having Brad actually participate in the thread certainly made it start flying by a little faster. The thread will dip and peak over the next few years but right now it's at a fevered pitch.

Pretty much. Let the big studios trying to clobber it out with a $300 million budget try to advance the genre in 500 different ways, 450 of which don't stand a chance. Pantheon is, and needs to be, a very focused experience with a razor sharp scope. There's a lot of things a lot of people...

It seems like a more powerful version of Scratch, but I played all of two minutes.

About to log into this, have dreams of making something truly epic, skip all tutorials, stack a few trees, then quit.

I imagine advancements in modern tech could reduce the required workload to recreate a continent that size, but I'm not a programmer so I won't go crazy with that argument. It does feed right into something Brad mentioned in this thread with Unity, however.

I'll say this (I know being friendly and creating an awesome game are two different things, and considering this board's past I feel like I should highlight, bold and italicize that), but the couple of Pantheon devs I've interacted with seem like pretty cool dudes. Eventually we'll see the...
