I love how people think this is happy spring meadows. Saw it last night and now today. You shouldn't join a community without knowing what that community is about. Pro tip - if you want all sunshine and rainbows, you're in the wrong place.

Haha, good one sir.

The funny thing is that it's really not news. Anyone with half a brain can sort of figure out they are just coming up with stuff on the fly. The most obvious part is the class and lore 'descriptions', which basically amounts to a paragraph here and there. Even what is written has been pretty...

KS backers are starting to trash on rerolled now. Delusional doesn't even begin to describe some of the comments there. Hrimnir 14 minutes ago I honestly never understood why everyone swung on FoH's nuts anyways. Afterlife was a far better guild, and their members were actually decent...

Kickstarter and Taxes Kickstarter In general, a creator can offset the income from their Kickstarter project with deductible expenses that are related to the project and accounted for in the same tax year. For example, if a creator receives $1,000 in funding and spends $1,000 on their...

I think if it barely gets over the finish line, they need to have a clear path on how they are going to proceed. Are they going to hire more people, perhaps put some more concept/pre-alpha stuff together for a 2nd KS to try to reach stretch goals? I think people would fund the 2nd KS if they...

I don't disagree but I still think it's below the average of what it needs daily. It did 15k yesterday, which is good but not great. It really needs about 20k a day. In order to hit that kind of number on a daily basis, if you go by the current average of 125 average pledge per backer, it...

It's amazing this thing hasn't hit 200k yet. I think a lot of current backers just upped pledges yesterday more than anything else. Going back a few pages on how the information is being put out there, I think the criticism is warranted. If stuff is being put out there in different outlets...

Sounds great, so what has happened from September until the KS started?

Lol, ok fine. I just hope people weren't surprised that some freaked out when they saw that 'night' shot, since that's how it was posted.

What's interesting about today is although it's made ok money so far (11k) due to the screenshots/enviroment effects article, the number of backers has not gone up (37 for today). It's more like people who already backed upped their pledge.

I figured it wasn't, although I'm not sure why the caption above it says it's a night shot then: Vu's been working hard on the Sunken Sanctum this week, and he just sent over some current screenshots of the area just outside of the dungeon's entrance. You'll see anight timeand a day time...

Licensing, infrastructure, office space, dev tools, etc

Is this KS simply to bring more people in? 20 people at 40,000 a year = 800000.

This is where I'm at as well. Convo asked what they would have to do to get me to pledge. Show me something tangible. The screenshots today are good, but why do we have to wait 10 days to see that? Show me a mockup of a possible in game avatar . Give more that two paragraphs to a class...

No, during the weekend the community was clamoring for more info, any info and his response was 'wait for the PC Gamer article'. While it's a nice idea to have, it's just an idea. It has nothing to doing with what's going on now with the project, what they are working on, etc.

I think 'pie in the sky' is the appropriate way to describe it. It's something they thought about, they'd like to do but don't know how feasible it really is. Kind of like the whole KS project really.

So that was the 'miracle patch' PC Gamer article huh? The one where he said 'I can't say anything now'? Something that 'might' be possible, but who knows? You can't make this shit up anymore.

They need to bring back the death penalty like in UO, where you ganked and then stand there as a ghost watching your body getting raped of gear.

I kinda wish it gets barely funded so we can keep the entertainment of this thread going.

Screens are ok, although if you would of told me they came from Darkfall or Mortal Online instead of Pantheon, I'd probably believe you.

Even going by math, at this point the KS would have to overcome a whole lot to make goal. The KS has been out for 10 days now. With an 800k goal, you figure at the very least it needs to average 200k in a 10 day span. Here we are 10 days in and it's still not at 200k and that's accounting for...

Problem with that analogy is one side (devs) are asking the other side for something (money).

Here is your 'media' tour, courtesy of the kickstarter comments page. Updated : I made of a list of Video/audio interviews coming up 1) MMOBuff.TV Interview with Brad McQuaid & Salim Grant on Monday 27th @ 20:00 BST, but we are recording it on Friday evening. MMOBuff.TV Interview with Brad...

The thing is the group of people that want Vanguard 2.0 is a small minority and not enough to fund this kind of project. Else there would be a ton of people playing Vanguard. To many gamers including EQ vets, Vanguard is/was a horrible piece of garbage that was rushed out/mismanaged, etc. The...

Where the hell have you been? People have been doing that for the past week in this thread? Do you see any results of that constructive criticism?

I'm confused, I thought all the classes were going to be revealed during 'class week'. This crap is so ridiculous it's just outright funny now.

think the 180 that most posters have gone is a combo of the dark knight debacle combined with the nonexistent pcgamer article.

I brought this up a few days ago and got roundly bitched at. It's like the old FOH vanguard thread and all the postmortem blogs on Sigils downfall never existed.

I'm starting to think either PC Gamer is trolling Brad or Brad is lying about this 'big reveal' in PC Gamer.

Why didn't they just call the class Blackguard. Blood Knight Dreadguard Black Knight

The point is not the name 'Dark Knight'. The point is they are creating a class based on the shadow knight and that's the best they came up with. Also the 'description' is pretty bad.

Great 2nd episode, Matt is channeling some Emmy performance now. The locker room scene was hilarious (you got pussy on you). I still think there is something about Woody's character that's off. At least he doesn't come off as a little goodie two shoes in this episode.

Keep in mind also that we (EQ vets, fanboys, backers, etc) are not the only ones they should be trying to impress. You can be sure that publisher execs keep an eye out on this. They see what we see they see the criticism then they are probably asking themselves, why would we want to fund that?

I don't think the name is the issue (although again, for something that's been worked on since September, it's like they thought of this last night). The issue is the 2 paragraphs that constitutes as 'lore'. Nothing about mechanics, nothing at all about how that kind of class would play (don't...

Perhaps if it fails they should take the approach of offering a smaller goal for a tech demo (similar to Pathfinder online) and once that gets funded, start shopping it around at tradeshows, media and then do a 2nd kickstarter. I think if they achieve the first goal to allow them to put out...

The whole thing is so amateur, from the KS itself to how the information is being presented, when it's being presented, etc. Even the small amount of stuff they have on there is not very good. It is a surprise this has gotten as much as it has and I'm sure it has only to do with 'Aradune'...

This pcgamer article reminds me of the 'miracle' patches that are supposed to fix all the garbage when a game launches .

I dare you to call a female barbarian ....Barbie.
