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

    After reading this shit for 150+ pages, come the fuck on. Do you and BoozeTrickle play paper/rock/penis best of 7 to see who is going shit-post next? For fuck's sake man, develop a gag reflex and STFU after a couple of troll posts at least if you can't really help yourself.

    They just send you a survey and ask you for which items you did you donate the extra money. It's pretty simple actually; I have seen it in at least 7-8 KS I have backed.

    No doubt. The current config of the tiers, the swag, the PR campaign, the effort from all involved, a better launch video, no all brown-SLASH screenies... combine that with the theme of "we are just setting up shop but this is what we have in mind", this could have been an entirely different...

    Which Mass Effect installment is your favorite?

    3; with the exception of the last 15 minutes, its one of my favorite games of all time. The ending really sinks my battleship, though, even with the "improved" endings. This, really.

    They had demo footage of the dog-fighting module, I think, as well. They have definitely built as they went along but the difference is that people trust Chris, and what we see as requests for more information really are people asking for confirmation it's going to be EQ 2.0 and not Vanguard...

    I would tell you to go DIAF but then I think about all of the good things fire has done for civilization and stop short, for fire's sake. Your occasional good post makes me think that you at least mean well, even if you can't sustain it. Both Pathfinder Online and Camelot Unleashed got about...

    I have thought this needed clarifying for a while. Its just for them to get this off the ground. It's seed money. Almost everyone treats KS as a pre-order, and in some cases its true; here it's something more foundational.

    There is a difference between criticism of the KS or of design decisions and the pure leftover vitriol crowd who aren't happy if Brad has internet access. One is helpful and productive and the other is just venting and emotional self-stroking. With the thread moving 10+ extended pages a day...

    Let me say this: I have always thought Denaut had valuable insight and provided value as a poster, even if I think he is way off-base now. I am directly calling out Boozecube: Stop trolling; you may not think you are, but you are. Your last post is a good start in a better direction, though.

    You can like the broad strokes of a narrative without knowing how fine the hair is on Nexus' goddess ass. I am not a huge fan of it as it is but that doesn't mean that constructing it this way isn't part of the overall theme for what they want to do in the game.

    I haven't been able to be as active in this thread as I would have liked but to go as negative as this thread has is really counter-productive. Is the KS not great? I was one of the first people criticizing it, so its not like anyone disagrees on that. Troy also makes great point on the way...

    Jeremy Soule's theme gives my chill bumps boners of their own; it's like I am anticipating the nostalgia for the music I will feel in 10+ years. Just an amazing job on that.

    I think you make great points and to further it, every dollar over the 800k mark is only going to be of slight marginal value. What they need more than anything else at this point is numbers of backers, such that they can convince a publisher (including SOE) that this is going to be a big...

    There was a huge push as they were nowhere close to making it. That is how I remember it; They were going to fail and put forth a frenzy of "now or never, the ship is sinking all hands on deck" communiques, at least in the places I read.

    I think it is a great compromise; in a perfect world as you added skill/levels/achievements, it will allow you to pinpoint your location more precisely.

    I can somewhat agree with the first part, in that the hope is to have multiple viable builds.

    The most important thing at this point is getting more backers. I think a better comparison at this point is Pathfinder Online: With a steady influx of backers, we can spread that funding curve out and use the longer time to our advantage. It's key to keep tapping this reservoirs of...
