They should just say fuck it and incorporate all passive MQ2 functionality into the game. Hire Mule while they're at it.

Newsletter is fine unless you were expecting stream dates, then it's a huge disappointment.

Yeah we've had some members bring up concerns about Unity, I guess we'll wait and see. In other news, we're sitting at roughly 15 members with pre-alpha pledges. Testing should be fun.

The issue is how do you pay for a coffin when your corpse is out there? I guess you buy them in advance and bank them?

What griefing could result? I mean you can't be corpse camped until your items rot, so that's a plus. I'd say have a corpse summoner in major cities which will summon your corpse in exchange for some exp. That way you let the player choose do they risk it or do they eat the exp loss. Idk, I...

Just exp loss will be largely irrelevant in my opinion. Maybe just having your items stay on corpse with no decay timer would be good.

Faster to find a new tank than to wait ten minutes for rez sickness? This isnt WoW. Youd need a player to run all the way to the camp and join up. It would almost always be faster to wait for rez sickness to wear off. Even today in EQ a group will wipe and spend 20-60 minutes getting back to...

Anyone here (Besides Tyen) have experience with Unity? Do we expect issues with Unity being used for a game of this scale?

I'm thinking they sit around 25-30 atm. That's counting the top positions like Brad and Chris Rowan. This guy was doing a ton of lore work on his free time already, it honestly wouldn't surprise me if this was more of an internship for him and being part of the team at all was his "reward". I...

Two of my RL pals dropped 1k pledges in the last two days. These guys are WoW players who are excited at the thought of competitive/non instanced PvE and open world dungeons.

Ah. I thought it was in the same vein as how Rift referred to their servers as shards.

Gotta make that pledge money back $$ Some interesting stuff in the FAQ related to what has been discussed here lately. DPS racing is a thing: Not having a single BIS item everyone wants & launching new servers to avoid over saturation of competition: Avoiding MQ2/ShowEQ like programs:

It's crazy to see them doing so much with the funding they have, considering Vanguard had like 30 million. Even with all the pledges they're probably not even close to those numbers. In other news, the guild website is up. Now we just have to wait for a year. www.FacelessGaming.org

One of the best parts about the competition in EQ was how much it extended the life of the game. Racing for Cazic Thule meant it was still pretty fun after like the 40th kill. Furthermore at a guild leader/officer level it introduced a whole world of politics and alliances that could either be...

Kilsin recently said they would have no cash shop, not even for cosmetics etc. Not sure how set in stone that is. I've personally never minded cash shops especially if they're just cosmetic trash. For those who missed it they have cosmetic items that drop from mobs (Items w/o stats but can be...

I think some of you may overestimate the age gap and how younger players approach MMO's/games. I'm 26 and I have a lot of friends in the 18-28 range atm who are excited for Pantheon. When I talk to them about EQ they really love how it sounds and they think the idea of guild v guild PvE is...

I think Luclin and Kunark hit a very nice balance on raid/group content ratios. Luclin in particular did a good job of having a wide range of different tiers of raid content. If you were T1 coming into Luclin with full ntov gear then you really could care less about most raid mobs outside of...

I think there can be a solid middle ground with the raid content. These guys seem ultra opposed to the word instancing which is why Kilsin is pushing for the VG solution so I will just pretend that the Phinny style system is off the table for now. Imagine Luclin but everything has their VG...

Yeah I guess Kilsin was on the VG team. I mean from a casual perspective it's cool but it completely destroys any competitive aspect to PvE raiding, it also devalues the economy since there is so much raid loot floating around, unless loot is all no drop which then wtf do you buy anyway? Either...

I've seen Kilsin frequently advocating a system where raid mobs are open world and respawn in 30-60 minutes but when you kill them you get locked out for X number of days. It's kind of like turning raid mobs into an open world welfare office imo. I think there should be some version of...

As long as I don't have to sit through another DBG mandated 6 hour rotation agreement that has to be recorded and fucking transcribed I will be golden.

After a yearish of poopsocking it on the last TLP I was definitely bored, but I'm looking forward to running things on Pantheon. You already know the drill w/ this kind of launch. We're looking for people with ultra high playtime on launch (if not always). The goal is people who are like...

I went full retard and got a VIP pledge. Hit me up if you want to do some raiding with forum bro's if this game ever launches.

Yeah Poison Cavern sucked and fuck the water level with all the holes in the floor.

Just finished the first island at level 55. That warrior of the west dude was such a pita.

You get some items with huge bonuses vs paralyze shortly before Bat Bitch which trivialize the fight if used. Her purple cone never paralyzed me once I used them.

I remember casual guilds simply not raiding. Guilds back then were a vehicle for social interaction for most players.

Better raid composition, better raid leading and better raiders. Also like others mentioned, theres a ton of extra AHR loot there which is pretty close to EP quality. Also I assume you guys are running 72 players which is a huge difference.

Most people use seq for boxing and getting named mobs in group/solo content. Every guild has people using it. On Vulak when we had a veritable witch hunt against it we knew members were using it. You just cant stop it because its so convenient. Even the SoE and DBG staff in our guilds used it...

How is progression going? Anyone drop Carpin yet despite zone issues? Anyone pushing RZ yet?

I thought I'd be satisfied after the success on LJ but I find myself planning for the new TLP already. My problem is that its never fun unless I am in guild leadership. I need the politics.

Yeah its a shame we wont see how successful Phinny could have been in the post PoP era. I'm sure it will still survive but a new tlp just in time for GoD will hurt the population a bit.

I didnt know you could automate output seq logs to twitter.

Yeah I remember that haha. I think FI had him asleep for eight or nine months and then invited the other guilds (what little there are) to wake him too.

Not Phinigel, but the guys in FI on Lockjaw woke the sleeper recently. Video courtesy of Lexi.

I can confirm reading this on the official forums a while back. The one item that stood out to me was Glowing Black Stone losing its quest tag and the dev explaining that some intern was working on a quest for it or something and no one knew what happened to him or the quest.

No idea why Beastlord slipped my mind there. I guess the distinction between a Mage hybrid and a Wiz hybrid would be pretty thin, but I still think a spellblade would have been a cool and obvious class decision to build.

I played a Bard back in the day and although it was a blast, the complaints were well founded. Twisting for 8 hours straight while grinding was draining sometimes. I wonder why they never did a Wizard/Warrior hybrid, or mage or shaman based hybrids for that matter. Why just...

Can I donate to this kickstarter?
