A wife and kid you don't neglect/hate? That's giving up your nights, man! I'm currently trying out the slave-to-the-man thing. It's not bad, but tiring. Am running out of things I've really wanted to buy/do. Mo money, mo problems, amirite?

Yeah, the support is supposed to be grass roots, not those supported.

Oh.... That makes my feelings sad. Thankfully there are plenty of people who are passionate enough to give up their nights pursuing whatever dream they have. I say thankfully, because that's how we get shit to enjoy, since in almost every industry ever, one has to put in the work of a...

If they don't fund, they'll have to just keep taking a shot at it or give up completely. I don't think there's room for the in-between option of taking a few more months, applying what they've learned, then trying again. That would kill the only momentum they have. Let all those currently...

Sorry, but she was no virgin. Plenty of us fucked this slut weeks ago. And here comes boozecube getting way too proud of his sloppy twenty-seconds.

To be fair, they showed some early combat system in the original video and confused people by not explaining what it was.

I agree, but if people are still going to bring it up, I'm still going to let them know it's known, and imo is a continual issue. I mean, instead of focusing on land appraisals and restaurant names, they're having gramma cook up some food and saying "see, this is what food looks like, and...

You're not far off. They have an idea for a restaurant in a part of town that is devoid of that cuisine (something people may support). They pitched the restaurant opening, when in reality they need funding to start finding a spot to build. Come the day to break ground, there are going to be...

I think even with the dubiousness toward Brad, they could have been successful with this by taking the approach that they're pitching a concept, not a product. Concept art would be good, along with clear intentions for the game that didn't have to include an actual summary of classes and lore...

They couldn't at least find an out of work artist, or get the one on their team, to do more concept art?

I like your logic.

Maybe it's still too dangerous. Maybe time has passed and there are places to settle, but they're filled with bad guys. Maybe as an expansion they can take a dangerous zone that adventurers have cleared and make a new starting village/cave/city out of it, or like EQN hypes we can all build the...

They can't design the entire game around the first few weeks, though. Overpopulation to start is better than a dead world after a month. EQ was crazy anytime a new server launched, but it was usually seen as a good sign. And 2 weeks later, or more, when you were by yourself in every starting...

We can assume the ones without ages were under the age of consent, which of course Sam would argue is fucking bullshit and should be at like 13. For all his insanity, though, he was entertaining and usually had pretty sharp wit when it came to server drama and making fun of people:

Don't make it instanced. Don't make it 'locked' encounters. Be more creative. Like Rift had encounters where you ported to a pedestal and battled a mob. Others couldn't port until you were done, but they could watch and cheer you on or buff you before hand. Even if it's just letting your...

Holy shit that's gold. This is actually pretty hilarious and awesome read especially for those from SZ We need to get Sam Da Man into Pantheon. His 50 boxing pledges could go a long way.

He's either tactfully dodging the question or has learned how to interact with the community in a positive, professional way. Either way, I support it, as both are skills he needed!

It's not qwerty, though, I don't think. qwerty can't see my username without flipping the fuck out and getting himself retard-rehabilitated (not that it ever worked). Actually, this thread needs qwerty (again?) to send it over the edge into hall of shfame territory. qwerty qwerty qwerty I...

I think less starting areas is fine. Make it one city, I don't care. Just make it a cohesive part of the world. If everyone has been forced into one city, there is still going to be a lot of distrust and anger and everyone better not be lovey-dovey with an ogre now that they're being forced...

Dropped my $300 pledge and it was gone instantly. At least the pledging seems to be getting more action than last slots staying open for hours or days.

Makes for an easy transition when it's time to merge servers!

Wasn't really into that, though I did look into ESL as most of those students were awesome. Really, what killed me is I love English and teaching, but hate students. A more ungrateful lot than mmo players! And of course like everyone else ever I wanted to write fiction, but wasn't motivated...

In the ghetto, you worthless dog!

I don't think the issue is that Brad hasn't been thinking. That's not it at all. Thinking about something doesn't mean planning, though. Thinking is fun. Planning is facing reality, something I think many of us feel Brad isn't good at, and why he needs a counterpart that can pull his ideas...

GI Bill paid for it and I wasn't planning on going to school otherwise, and wanted to write and teach English. Shit done changed, but it was a calculated mistake.

They haven't yet figured out all you need is someone with an ability to present ideas in a clear, coherent, exciting way. They don't need tangible things. They don't have a grasp on how to present ideas, though, as that's not what they've ever really done in the industry or been good at. So...

Yeah, and it sticks in my craw because meanwhile I got a useless English degree that every said was useless and is useless and you can't get jobs because it's useless and wait, what, apparently it's not all that useless to be able to communicate effectively. :P Their KS reads like shit I was...

Now, I'm just making shit up as I go here, but you could just add it to the rogue class. It would give people a chance to respec without having to reroll, and it would fit the other shit I just made up on the fly.

See, I always took it to mean that there would be variation, but only inside your class... err I mean sub-class now that they exist. So, you're a cleric, I'm a cleric. I got super-healing-of-the-gods last week at a raid, so I use that to heal, and am better at healing. But you got...

That they're constantly revamping based on little more than people whining, otherwise they would be sticking to their initial vision or had a better vision of them from the beginning is they had a more coherent, thought-out plan. I'm still a supporter of the game. But a duck is a duck.

And at what point does the game refer to you as the TITLES the devs themselves have given to class sub-classes? If you wear plate long enough, you acclimate to it with the vague climate system, and then you're a Battle Cleric? They basically described a wide open, soft-coded system at...

Is it? Because what they're saying now is that is sure sounds like it's more hard coded. How do you soft code a complete name-change for a class based on nothing more than how you're playing it? I honestly believe they wanted it to be more wide open, where players could build their own...

So, you gear your Cleric with spells and a robe, and then one day you log in and you're no longer a Cleric, but a Curate? Surprise promotion!

In defense of nobody really... when hey put up the cleric summary, we were getting 'info' more on how different items and abilities you found in the game would maybe change your approach. So, you're a cleric and found some cool spells, now you put on a robe to enhance those spells, so the...

This is the problem with their shitty ability to write, that yes, is becoming my pet peeve, is I have no fucking clue what they actually mean. The only thing worse than promising everything to everyone as modern mmos do, is being so vague and convoluted that you let hope spring up for anyone...

A DPS class that does increased damage the more you breathe out of your mouth... and dual parry-dagger wielding tank that everyone will say sucks because only 10% of the population can wrap their heads around the concept, much less how to play the class, but that 10% will be awesome and have...

Waaat? You don't want the game guiding/forcing you into using certain abilities at certain times so you can create what is called a heroic opportunity?! What would you rather have? Being a player who isn't terrible where you pay attention and use an ability as a reaction to your environment...

But you make a good point. In a game with fixed 'chains' you have to basically do what the game says, and in the right order. In EQ, if a mob got lose, the necro might think the best option is to fear the mob to keep the healer alive. Then the druid/ranger/wizard sees it running like crazy...

The thing I've never understood about instancing is it's usually related to capped content. When really, instancing helps solve some of the issues of uncapped encounters. So, what about uncapped instanced raid targets?

First, you have to decide if you want an automated NPC pet, or take on a free-to-play player-servant. Pros and cons to both, of course. Only respectable players take on the player-servant as a fluffer, though.
