    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Ok maybe camping isn't 'dead', but it would certainly have to be specifically designed for. The point is, why? What are the benefits to this kind of dungeon experience?

    I dunno man... EQ2's dungeons were similar to EQ. I think I can count on one hand the number of times I was in a static camp in that game

    So, I've been thinking about dungeons recently... And my experiences at WoW launch vs. Kunark/Velious era EQ, and then later in EQ2 & Vanguard. I think it's safe to say the days of static camps + pulling are over. That was an emergent gameplay mechanic that the EQ devs never intended for. It...

    I don't hate the idea of mini maps. In theory they sound great. The reality though, is that you spend more time watching the mini map than watching the world. It totally divorces you from the environment. I could tell you where I was in the karanas by looking at the hills and trees nearby FFS...

    Ya, I mean.... Visual queues aren't necessary if the quest system is very carefully implemented. I like the idea of dropped items (ex. Letters, scrolls) leading to specific NPCs, or wanted signs, or world spawn lore books etc etc. NPC behaviour (looking distressed or hanging around certain...

    Oh no, not too complicated. Just like a fog of war style mapping system. You reveal areas of them while you explore a region... Press the M key to bring up your map book or whatever. Then your UI has a compass like TESO showing nearby (under 100 yards) points of interest. The important part...

    It's actually interesting, because December 2013 saw the second highest number of projects funded last year. One could assume then, that there were in fact more pledges made, but at significantly smaller amounts. I'm pretty sure we can bank on Pantheon getting funded no matter when it...

    I always liked the idea of a cartography skill. No UI GPS mini map, but a map you 'draw' as you explore the world. Early WOW had this, no? I think so.... But instead of their lame gps mini map, just give a compass (TESO) + your drawn map (Vanilla WoW) Also Convo, the thing you're forgetting...

    Smart to delay the kickstarter, Brad. From Crowdfund Bookie: December 2013 saw the second-lowest total amount of dollars raised by gaming projects ($2,331,061) in the last seven months, since we began tracking such data. I say delay it until people are getting their tax returns. People...

    Fuck crafting. Easily the worst part of almost every MMO I've ever played. Unless of course you can actually make it fun. Clicking on menus 1000 times is not my cup of tea.

    The question isn't how many were sold at launch. Brand loyalty was always going to trump actual performance for many purchasers early on. Even still, that's a pretty wide lead after 2 months. The really interesting numbers won't be available until a year from now.

    It's my opinion that if Brad & co. manage to design a world to be lived in, rather than a game to be played, they will see a good deal of interest in their product. Maybe not during the kickstarter or at launch, but it could enjoy a long and healthy life similar to that of EVE. Don't sell...

    The game ain't good... But it's not an absolute abortion either. It's gonna come out and review at 8.5/10 even though it deserves a 6.5.

    Of course those sales numbers for Skyrim are overly optimistic... And everyone knows developers don't get 100% of box sales. The point is, the IP is extremely strong. The best selling Star Wars game of all time (LegoSW: the complete saga) was a child's game that was on 4 platforms and sold...
