be cooler if that was true.

champagne bottle ready.

Loaded up p99 Finally. Free at last of kickstarter BS and lies. Stupid decisions by stupid management. Long live 15 year old elf simulators. I will casually grind to 60. I'm in no rush. See you in Thurgadin.

Is it just me or does it look like the sanctum itself has no textures?

BradMcQuaid BradMcQuaid 12 hours ago @Paul__Novak Hopefully you'll give me the opportunity to summarize and clarify what we've said about this issue: We chose kickstarter as our first round of funding because: 1. Optimally,we hoped that we could raise money like Star Citizen didand...

its going to be so awesome. i'll be fairly drunk, taking screenshots of the choice cuts for posterity when this thread gets shawed.

i'll be here, and will no shit pop a bottle of champagne when it does.

testing their pay to view forums

LOL

I run 255 mods, fosho.

instead he has people like salim who approach brad-like levels of negitive baggage and community disdain.

ive only made it this far because i personally thought the crusader with dual shields and a dick sucking squire pet sounded so awesome.

i'd definately be interested in a game like that, however i'm not sure that pantheon represents that concept despite being marketed as such. what qualities distinguish 'new' school from 'old' school in your mind? aside from the presence of a defined healer class, that have been stated to be...

exactly, like people are sitting around on fat stacks of capital saw the tweet and thought 'oh, since you put it that way...'

bingo. this is one of those 'im going to juice my own ks so i dont lose out on a free 400k' scenerios under the guise of an angel investor. also, just started reading the thread convo linked, pretty funny so far. people are like 'a brad mcquaid game? fuck that, mcquaid is a faggot' and then...

thats about the best way to sum this up, yes.

no. brad and everyone else are unemployed refugees from layoffs at various southern california gaming studios. what brad has said is that his team has been working pro bono and he wants to back pay them an industry standard rate for their work thus far.

im not a roleplayer or anything, but i kind if wish they went with somthing a bit less futuristic and maybe something a little more low tech, maybe steampunk esque / gnome created in appearance.

now thats a game i can get behind

a disco axe?

It will, in some form. I've been down this road before.

That'd be a badass wasteland though. Everquest Fallout. Just do to voxels what so many games do in pvp, cut 20-50% of the damage one does in PvP compared to PvE damage, so if you need to throw 2 sticks of TNT at a certain block to damage it, in PvP you'd need to lob 4.

open world pvp, pillage and plunder pls. arenas, instances, islands and battlegrounds gtfo.

So the words "old school" MMORPG with "a whole lot of EQ1 and a bit of VG" evoke thoughts of instances, dungeons finders, corpse alters, and mob radar to you? Is that what comes to mind? No. And nor does it to the EQ1 crowd he specifically tried to court. (P99, Boogie, etc) So I'm not shocked...

In a perfect world.. I heard they make EQ in a browser now. While several desired this, no rational person expected it to be this. However, when you start throwing out "a return to old school mechanics" crossing certain thresholds, such as radar and dungeon finders are generally regarded as...

They do, for mobile devices, all the time. Check out an app store. Antiquated notions like side scrolling platform games and turn-based combat RPGs are still in demand.

So either there is more PvP fans than PvE fans, which we both know isn't true, or that the CU kickstarter was ran so much better than Pantheon's.

PvP ref was to Camelot Unchained, which has no PvE content. And the reception at p99 was "Fuck that." for the most part due to Brad and Salim's involvement, as well as the extremely lackluster Kickstarter. P99 has thousands of players, and very few, less than 100 backed this project, and if...

Bro haven't you heard? Throwback games with PvP are business suicide and nobody wants to play those.

Again, don't blame poor execution and Brad & Salim's poor name on lack of enthusiasm for a concept. In addition, the kickstarter was literally so bad, Brad could have been marketing chocolate that makes you lose weight and shit gold and you'd still have had a lukewarm reception.

again, that was the entire concept which the game was presented as encompassing and the small player base to which the game was marketed toward. You can't market a horse, then talk about strapping a ramjet engine on it and expect to please everybody.

I really wish I was a fly on the wall during some of these planning sessions. Ben or somebody - "Brad we have over 2,500 backers, if we implement a premium forum on our site, that's almost 40k a month! By the end of the development cycle we'd have made like 1,500,000 dollars! That's even...

Speaking of horses, if I went back to Afghanistan I'd totally take a horse again over a car.

Also I just wanted to reiterate this point from Brad's recent IGN interview. Get with the times, grandpa, you're stuck in the old days of analog games that require a table and people HA! My Atari Jaguar is 64-bit, your gay ass Super Nintendo is a 16-bit baby toy from the stone age.

Nobody said this was a deliberate attempt to commit fraud. It is a scam in the sense that the money is not going toward future game development, nor to build a studio, nor to fund a tech demo, but to pay 9 designers for their previous "pro bono" efforts to write lore and dream up ideas, this was...

A guy named Greg Pavich scored 100k to make NES cartridges of Cheetahmen II, which was a terrible, terrible, buggy mess of a NES game. It was one of the most drama intensive KS campaigns I've ever seen, because he didn't actually have the rights to the title, it came out that his production cost...
