If you guys think that the cash shop won't providesomeway for people to spend real world $$$ to getsomeform of in-game advantage, you're fooling yourselves. The path between real world dollars and in-game advantage may be obfuscated by a series of go-betweens (like trading things for other...

A very low one. The real question you want to ask is if there is a chance that Pantheon becomes an actual game worth playing. The chances of that are pretty low for any attempt at an mmo.

I won't argue with that. Doesn't seem like much effort was put into those, does it?

The art hasn't been bad. Not particularly amazing- but I don't really care about concept art (in relation to the final product of the game). Agree about the writing. They need help. The names they are coming up with are pretty cringe-worthy. edit: I find that names are one of the most...

Change buying assets to making assets and Pantheon is in the same position as Crowfall.

Looked better than expected. Color me completely indifferent to where they get the assets they use. As long as the game is entertaining, I don't care if they bought their assets, stole them, or made them themselves. However they got their assets, they blended pretty well in that vid, tbh...

I spend a little less than $120 a week in food. $120 a month is roughly $4 per day. You either live in a place where the U.S. dollar goes a lot further than it does in the U.S., or you probably need to recalculate.

That's disappointing. And it goes against creator guy's tenant of total transparency. Oh well, these tech startup guys always start out with such grand ideas, but the realities of "business" soon set in. (Still going to try it).

I thought about that too, but then I thought- how many times do you really see the process by which your food gets made? I'm willing to be way worse stuff happens in the harvesting/processing/shipping/retail cycle for food we eat all the time. Also, I don't know if you watched the entire...

After listening to interviews with the creator of Soylent, I am a little less enthusiastic about trying it. He seems a little... off his rocker. He admittedly has pretty much no background in health or nutrition. He's basically a computer guy who decided he thought eating was barbaric so he...

About to be locked into work shit for the next few hours and don't have time to make an account and ask- someone please ask about cash shops for the love of god. I doubt they will go into payment details this early, but if they do I can actually scratch off this game or put it at the top of my...

This is pretty much exactly my intent. I like eating as much as anyone, but most of the time I want to be able to make worrying about food way lower on my priority list than it is now. Then splurge when I have the time and inclination. It seems like making your own would be as much (or...

*edit*- What I meant is that the conflict is inevitable. I wasn't clear, my fault. The conflict of interest is that the people who run the game have to constantly fight a battle between limiting cash shop items to "aesthetic" items and making less money, or selling "gameplay impacting" items...

It's not just fair, it's inevitable. It's also the reason the cash shop idea is flawed at its root. The conflict of interest it creates is unavoidable and terminal to the integrity of the game.

The name thing is kind of strange. Seems like terrible marketing to me, considering what soylent green turned out to be. I also agree that eating is one of life's great pleasures, but it's also one of life's great pain in the asses. The process of going to the store, finding the items you...

Soylent - Free Your Body Want to try it. Anyone have any experience with it? I love the idea of perfectly balanced nutrition coming so easily. The time, effort, mess this would save seems pretty badass. I think I would still have a real dinner most nights and use this every bfast and...

Haha fair enough then. That's an honest assessment. Have at it.

I hate cartoony. That's not too cartoony. That said, you guys need to temper your expectations. How long have we been doing this? The better an mmo sounds, the less likely it is to succeed in getting made the way it's described. Not sure why you guys think this will be different. I wish...

Most of that applies to me, actually. Add to it that I tend to play PC games that require a ton of setup/decision-making and I'm kind of sick of it. Frankly, I just want to pick up a controller and shoot shit/ hack shit/ jump right in, without having to micromanage everything. Not saying I...

You guys are going to convince me to stay a PC gamer

Would like to get back into console gaming after a long absence and need some advice from the Rerolled bros: 1. PS4 or Xbone? I know this is a loaded question that could turn into a never ending debate. Don't want that. All I want is a simple explanation as to why you think one is better...

Yikes. Their writing just keeps getting better and better. That first paragraph/sentence would make William Faulkner cringe

Wow. Thanks for that. MOBA : The Collection MOBA needs a writing section and that "introduction" needs to be a featured piece. Also, I totally recommend scrolling through the MOBA collection and reading the descriptions. Some of the work is nothing short of breathtaking.

Wait, where did you find this? I checked on the keepers site and didn't see it. Link?

I hope "More FAQ" includes cash shop/sub info. I doubt it though. Monetary strategies seem to be some of the last things mmos disclose.

I duoed Xalgoz with my 50 chanter and a 50 druid buddy. It's a little bit of a challenge, but it's fun. Invis down to him, clear a field around him, pull him with charm. I charmed him and sent him against other mobs instead of the other way around. It's a good thing too- he tears through the...

Regardless of the cash shop situation?

According to the guys deving the VG emu, you could probably shrink the scope of the world yourself if you wanted to. Would be kind of fun to shrink the world way down and repopulate the game with all new lore and different NPC placement.

Like I said in my previous post, it's very hard to get kills with a chanter. The cure disease shield Big Flex is talking about makes chanters pretty fucking dominant at controlling pvp, but actually getting kills by yourself is very difficult. That said, enchanters are beasts at group or...

The almost stand-alone story of young Roland and Susan Delgado in Dark Tower IV was one of the best stories I've ever read. I liked the Dark Tower series, but even if I didn't, reading it was worth it just to read that story.

The SNES Shadowrun was great, but pretty damn linear. There was a flavor or feeling of open-worldiness, but really it was appearance more than reality. It was still a good game though- they really captured the feeling of the SR world. The Sega Shadowrun...

Maybe you're right. I hope not, though. The dislike for cash shop games is a preference, like any other preference. You could argue all day about whether mmos are better with or without cash shops- just like you could argue all day about whether blondes are better than redheads. In the end...

I seriously doubt ALL games do- but regardless, it's not unreasonable to think that someone might make a game without a cash shop. Unlikely, I'll grant you, but not impossible.

Someone just make it easy and tell me if it has a cash shop so I can forget about it entirely.

I love chanters, but I'm sick of them. I was able to duo very well with the druid starting from scratch with no help. Plus, it's probably me, but I've never been able to do much with chanters in pvp post 50. High end people are so well geared that even with Tash everyone resists the shit out...

I'm rerolling on this server myself. Would be nice to level up with some forum pals. Not sure if I'm going wiz or necro yet. I have a 50 chanter and my roommate has a 50 druid. If you guys are interested in catching the PL train with me, let me know your in game name. The more the merrier.

Beware the voice of Saruman! For even after he has lost aught else, his voice still has the power to deceive and mislead. Seriously though, Brad missed his calling as a politician. He has a true talent with words. He's been kicked out of the Orthanc, but damn if he hasn't found himself a...

I wasn't suggesting anything, I was just making an observation that he has done this type of thing before. There are dozens of differences between this scenario and original EQ that go beyond the fact that Pantheon does not appear to be as "revolutionary" as EQ. I give Pantheon about a 5%...

That's similar to how he got 989 on board with EQ I believe. Not with Unity obviously, but I think he worked up a basic framework himself and showed it to the studio.
