You only need to look at his previous posts to know.

Is that question for lowering it or removing it entirely? Because I'd lower it just to provide that feedback there where I assume it'll reach them (although that's starting to look like a big assumption).

Death Knight, Shadow Knight and Dread Knight were all taken so they had to settle. Dark Knight is the Equivalent to someguy calling his necro Deathmasterr because he was the second one to think of that clever name. Edit: yea two hours too late for that joke I see. Anyway! I think they if they...

Good one, I feel this might become a classic here. While it's beating a dead horse for sure, the fact that the effort that went into the KS just doesnt suffice can be beaten a bit. Simply because they thought it would fly off the shelves with no further effort as presented, while anyone here...

Yea I'm not fond of the names either, but what can you do. I hope it's noted and future names for places get sound more fitting for the rest of the game, until we arrive at Pixxt Qui Wat some 6 years after release. You're talking about the name here right? This isnt an implication of WoW and/or...

Pretty much my situation as well. And then add to that alot of new posters that throw you into the same pot as Itzena for a critical post, sorta odd.

It's in your hand to fix that, just upgrade to 10k and it's even! Actually though, can we stop cheering and bemoaning each troll pledge? Five 10k backers are less useful for the project then 100-500 backers in the "regular" range. As long as the goal is met more backers is better then fewer...

You just have to wait long enough. The D3 miracle patch supposedly hits sometime in March, for a mere $40. That's only 2 years after release!

That is what irritates me so much about this. I'm not saying high horse your decisions until judgement day, but given the entire visual style of this game those complaints were retarded, but they caved. Kinda reminds me of Blizzard caving over and over to the detriment of their game, so meh.

He was mostly against the mini-map GPS in his post, which isnt quite the same as looking at a website printout or an ingame map that doesnt show your location on it. Both latter solution still require you to recognize and navigate your surroundings based on the info you read off the map. With...

I see this as a PVE game and would be fine with no PVP. However if they add it I seriously hope the PVP stretch goal just sits there without any serious thought behind it because all MMOs have PVP. There is no way to rationally explain how PVP suddenly comes into being at a certain amount of...

They do have full control over the average amount of triggers a group can obtain per week, just not the highs and lows. Although with more sophisticated loot drop programming you could even smooth those away, though I feel no need for it. It shouldnt be as common as it was in Silithus, that was...

I feel like that are too many 'systems' already. I'd very much want to keep it simple. I am against instancing that's just a way to to avoid contested content, both on a group and raid level. However, I see the point that always being the empty-handed second in a race is a frustration on raid...

The Wow (or WAR) maps looked good, I just want to get rid of the GPS part (both getting your position off the map and going without the gps mini-map and use a compass only instead).

Yea that logic is sound. It also works for travel, decentral AH, death penalty or non-instanced dungeons. Lets skip all that crap.

You forgot that it's a missed chance to light a fucking torch. Which should be the baseline answer to dark nights, available from lvl1 on. All the magic spells and god loot with innate effects can come later and should come at a trade-off. I want darkness and the interactions with light sources...

It's still a good idea, GW2 just didnt dare to put in the consequences. Since everything flips back and forth every other hour nobody cares about saving the village. Events like this can be part of the game but they need to have more risks as well as rewards (both things ArenaNet didnt include...

Personally I would say I donated to the project despite the kickstarter and not because of it. It's not enticing at all for anyone on the fence imo.

I'd prefer a couple of days without updates to what they're doing: throwing up whatever they can come up with for the day and hoping some of it sticks. At least the dungeon entrance is already as big as a complete McDungeon so I guess there's that.

Vanilla WoW was pretty much a polished EQ copy with some new ideas (quests as progression and easier soloing - EQ at that point was already instancing anything meaningful so that part isnt new). So they went and copied Kunark (entire new continent with very different flair -> TBC) and Velious...

Well I've said a few times I'll probably buy it just for the initial new MMO experience even if I only do 1-3 months, but after this last page I'll probably not do that. I hope they gained a previously-offended box sale thanks to their heavy-handed PCness to make up for it!

Phew finally caught up with this thread, sorry for replying to things from 100 pages ago but those posts are only a day old! Wish the pledges would move as fast as this thread. A question regarding that, is this the main interest hub for VR/Pantheon or is there any other forum/community that is...

... and EVE to an extent ... you might not like it but EVE stands above those other four games you listed for not caving in while they have, and actually being ONE world for all players instead of segregating people into their own little cozy servers. Give credit where it's due, Dumar. That...

That's only weird if you actually believe everything he says.

I noted that - I'm not implying ill intention (yet) because it might just be a slip up. It's worth pointing out though. Since 800k dont build an MMO (nor the 2-3mill we used as a benchmark for the last 6 months), some kind of publisher has to come into the picture. Imo the one obligation VR...

I'm in for 250 here so dont get me wrong, but the opinions quoted are spot on. I dont know how much effort and planning went into the kickstarter during the last 3-6 months, but it doesnt give me a "yes, we can" vibe at all. I want this to go through, but getting the word out only helps bringing...

Very much this, I'd love if they can do some tweaks to the lore in general, absolutely not thrilled about it so far. Depends on how much is set in stone already I guess.

You want the basic flavors so people can find something close to their favorite character. Your list has no nature class unless you consider shaman as that. It also doesnt have the big nuker (classic wizard fanboys will not be happy with enc or nec) or an archer (though ranger is stretch goal...

Ah sorry it's hard to keep up with the thread, didnt know we already know the mount vs buff speed boost percentages of Pantheon.

GW2 has you talk to the navigator at the dock in front of the ship and he ports you to the destination port. WoW did the same at times because their boats bugged (but WoW does have boats!). Re: Flight paths: I dont mind flight paths if they are uncommon and make sense. Say if you have an...

Copying the outdoor world concept of GW2 would make me very happy. It's very good at the core, just needs a few changes because GW2 had a very accessible core concept which Pantheon does not. If you assume GW2 combat it would also have to be made alot harder, but Pantheon will be different in...

Downtime in EQ often depended on pacing anyway. Pacing was sometimes dictated by the dungeon (moving ahead of respawns in Charasis) but more often then not the group could set their own speed. And the most fun groups were those that didnt really have much downtime. I would prefer a dungeon...

According to WotC themselves Magic has been growing massively for the last couple of years, so I dont think they are close to any kind of problem. I do agree that they have always sucked big time at the internet. It's getting better but they evolve slower then the internet itself so they are...

I think if they have fewer levels and leave out some artifical limits like resists/misses going up with levels (higher level have more dmg/HP/ac already, no need to force extra misses), it'll be ok without mentoring. The lower player will bring less to the table but wont be entirely dead weight...

Agreed, there's no need for a subforum that's consolidated into a single thread half a year later. If at all, wait until there is actual alpha testing or gameplay. This thread will slow down after the KS.

Yea. Like someone above said, you only need them for things that you cannot see coming otherwise. If you need a telegraph because something is bursting out of the ground, make it a rumbling area or show cracks in the ground. If something is falling from the sky have a spell effect or debris or...

Kinda my thoughts. Again I dont know if take down and rework is in the cards, but it might not be a bad idea. If they think they can take the advice coming from all directions and turn it around (for VG) within a week.

GW2 UI was decent. There's always some room for improvement but I never felt it had serious flaws. It was also very minimalistic, which is always nice. More playing the game and less playing the UI.

GW1 did the spells thing nearly 10 years ago, removing that is one of the failures of GW2. Anything ever produced has a target audience, woohoo. And anyone will say, it's one of the arguments behind many nerfs in plenty of games. The intended downtime thing is actually unique to them. I think...

Pretty much first impression also, and you might think it silly but lore can make or break a game for me. 'Terminus' and Nexus as a deity name had me groan. Tbh I was hoping for a bit more "down-to-earth" fantasy and this is pretty much the opposite. I mean I managed to deal with space goats and...
