Lol. You are confusing me with someone else. I never raided in EQ (well, almost never) I just liked hanging out in a groups with people I knew and when I had time to play: pulling was fun until I wanted to relax and chat, so I'd switch jobs with the SK or Bard or wtf. So much monkophobia...

Now that's funny. Also Rift is bad, m'kay. And you should feel bad for mentioning it in this thread.

/rant on I'm coming to actually hate the Oculus Rift. It started with Butler wearing one in that EQN video and before and since then it seems like every fucking thread on a new MMO has at least ten "will it support the Rift?" posts and I'm like did Oculus VR sell like 5,000,000 rifts when I...

I'm pretty sure it's been asked by others ;-)

See, Brad sees the necessity of the twitter following.

I'd be surprised if it isn't a stretch goal. I like VG crafting/harvesting as well, but it's not as central to an MMO as the adventuring experience and it's something that can be easily added later once they've got monthly subs. But I'd be happy to be wrong.

Maybe if Quaid rolls a bard in Pantheon Lost Ranger and TC will let him into their LGTB guild. And oh yes, the B stands for Bard.

Which one of them should have the max burst dps serverwide?

Another vote for targetable NPCs. I wouldn't roll on a PvP server, but I certainly hope you get one, as that means Visionary Realms had a successful kickstarter.

There is your first problem: no monk.

Lol.

What class did you play again? Enchanter?

it's not about whether they are good or bad it's about market penetration. Eqn twitter has 19.5k accounts, that is far less than the total people interested in the game but is representative of wider mmo market penetration. Blizz Warcraft account has 410k following, showing much greater market...

Brad already said otdt was going in.

Thus my wait for more twitter followers comment. Info about the game hasn't spread that far into the wider MMO community.

All you have said is that its stupid because you think so. You haven't articulated any reason why monks should be emasculated as a class so enchanters can feel even better about themselves.

The hate is strong in this one. Good. Gooood.

Meh. You should wait until pantheonrotf twitter is at least 1,000. That's a good proxy for how far and wide news has spread about the game. You want a really good day one on kickstarter.

lol. It's a mechanic that works, you just don't like it. You not liking something doesn't make it a bad mechanic. You tried to argue that it doesn't make sense in a fantasy world, because you don't like it. I'm just pointing out that there are lots of justifications for it in a fantasy world...

So you hated Star Wars then?

Class? No. Every race? No. Okay with job/profession. Gnomes tinker. Red pandas pirate.

How about calling it Embrace Stillness? Instead of FD. And we think of monks as being so in touch with the mystic force underlying the universe that they can bend and manipulate that energy, affecting the minds of weaker willed species. You know, like a boss Jedi. That also explains why the...

Tuco stealing your thunder LegumeGen?

Yeah he did not have what we call "the good listening skills.". Brad at least admitted some of his mistakes with VG. I don't recall Salim doing the same. That's the main reason I'm cutting Brad some slack with Pantheon. If Salim is on the team he needs to issue a mea culpa to the VG community.

Yep. He is not well liked. It wouldn't stop me playing as long he wasn't involved in lore or major design decisions outside of crafting. When he wad just working on VG crafting he was fine. You can find some of his old interviews on the net. But he got arrogant and unfunny when he became lead dev.

Tuco just likes fucking around with his admin privileges. No restraint, that one has. -Yogurt.

Linkedin still says SOE. Hopefully he sticks to crafting if he is on Pantheon. VG crafting in beta. The kamelott, kdw, content he added post acquisition was awful.

The pantheonrotf site is now owned by their company. Though I still want to know if Salim is affiliated with this game, if so he needs to be whacked in the head if he starts trying to "be funny" with lore, quests or NPC names. @Sgrant: the kamelott shit was never funny or even mildly amusing.

Don't go Jeff Butler on us (flipping out about needing clerics at SOELive). If you take out pulling you have to replace it with something else.. Spazzy AI, lots of cc, whatever. There is nothing wrong with one or two classes doing X best (tank, heal, cc, pull, etc) and other classes only able...

Looks like NewCo is Visionary Realms, Inc.

Sure the class system better, but Mobs were leashed so FD pulling was minimal and I ended up as an off off tank or dps. Pulling needs to be part of the design, but yes with multiple classes that can effectively pull: monk, bard, wtf, and pull in different ways. /aside in your FD 5x. That...

Group wise the puller should be bringing new mobs in as fast as the group can handle.

@popsicle you either have class interdependence and people get bored sometime waiting for a pull, a port, a rez, a sow, etc. Or you make an mmo where everyone can do everything and there is no class uniqueness or flavor or connection. I'll take the former.

@Quaid. Next time roll a puller: monk/bard. EQ classes worked with diff psych profiles: ADHD? Bard/Monk. Megalomaniac? Warrior. Unloved as a child/Need to be loved now? Cleric. Hate people? Necro.. @Draegen. Pulling works, stop suggesting unwieldy, stupid fixes to proven mechanics. Also...

You'd think right? But you'd probably be wrong. We'll see with the KS.

I'd like to see 16+ classes in at launch, seems a bit much though given their limited resources. What has to be in at release are at least 1 Tank, 1 Healer, 1 Melee DPS, 1 Magic DPS, CC and probably a Puller/Buffer/Utility class. So using EQ classes: Warrior, Cleric, Rogue or Ranger, Wizard...

Now that would be amusing.

Yes, as I understand, they have the DNA (or most of it), they don't quite have the Jurassic Park technology though.

The good thing about the kickstarter is that it will, hopefully do away with a few questions, concerns, comments, or other BS -instancing (yes/no, 50/50) -levels (probably yes) -flying mounts (no) -raiding (??) -group size -Initial classes -Stretch classes -Super stretch classes...
