    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    The choice you make actually does matter since you get a stable of (I think) 12 characters to choose from but once you make your choice you cannot make another character and choose from the remaining 11. You only get that one hero for free and must purchase the rest (either via in game currency...

    That's just another form of keying, which I don't necessarily mind, but I hope this type of encounter would be more the exception than the rule. Even the hardcore gamers in EQ got sick of key quests and those same hardcore gamers hated resist checks during vanilla WoW. There are plenty of...

    OK, so this suggests it is more of a permanent character solution. That I don't mind. However, in your interview you made it seem like a "buff" that requires ramp up time or "acclimation" and would then degrade over time upon leaving that environment. Which is it? or is it both? Also, is this...

    You could probably skip the non-stick pan unless you like to have quick breakfasts that involve frying eggs in some fashion very often. I'm no expert myself but I would definitely get a food scale, good meat thermometer and a garlic press. Quite frankly I'm not sure how you haven't died to...

    All of us naysayers have stated many times what we would like to see. In fact I just did state what I would rather have seen from this interview twice in the last 20 minutes.

    Nightblue's stream is one of the most informative streams you can watch. It's actually helped me quite a bit even when I play top and support. It's good to watch for a "bad" player in any role, not just jungle.

    Let's not forget, we have things like crafting as a stretch goal and he's talking about a gameplay mechanic in this interview that is not listed in the KS at all. So he either plans on focusing this into the core project (which he feels is more important than crafting, or monks, or bards) or...

    I don't like the idea either but even I will give him more credit than that. The problem is him talking about his aspirations rather than talking about what he knows they will be putting into the game. He did the same thing with Vanguard. He needs someone to keep him grounded and stop him from...

    They are, he even admitted it throughout the entirety of that article. He's giving interviews about climate acclimation and bane weapon "maybe ifs" instead of talking about the world and core gameplay mechanics like combat, travel, world size, group size, raid size, itemization philosophies...

    The climate changes I can deal with. Depending on how it's done. I really don't like the fact that you get "acclimated" to the conditions. It sounds like just another grind. Make it permanent (I always have to wear my fur cape in cold zones) otherwise I lose stamina quicker and require a fire to...

    But women love that. Every woman I know likes it. It also has the added benefit (for them anyway) that I'm not blinding them by busting in their eye or gumming up their hair. Plus that's just the miracle of life man. Nothing miraculous about taking a shit.

    It would cool if they dropped the "knight" aspect completely and named it something like Void Champion or Shadow Errant instead since Knight has the whole "noble warrior" connotation. But that's just nitpicking.

    The Dark Knight is iconic in American culture. It has an identity already in the comic world. A far cry from standard fantasy settings. It seems like at worst a blatant ripoff the child of one of the developers decided would be cool and at best a completely last minute rush decision.

    The class description itself isn't really all that terrible. The problem is, typically you have a small blurb as such about a class and then you have at least a small list of skills and explanations following it. I'm not an expert at all on KS but on other games I've followed (traditionally...

    I wish they (and we are guilty of this too) would stop explaining their "vision" by comparing things to either EQ or VG. For instance, in the Q&A section of the KS they explain the death penalty as: "There will be a death penalty that is at least similar to Vanguard's, and quite possibly more...

    Cockblocking was no fun in EQ but like you said, itemization was so good you did not need to be bleeding edge to have a powerful toon.

    Physical swag is an opportunity cost. Also, it would be pretty silly to not build the cost of manufacturing said swag into the donation price.
