    Most property investors literally do not purchase single family homes as rental properties. They are not as lucrative as multi-unit homes and multi-unit homes are more insulated from external market factors. There is also a much smaller market of people looking to rent single family homes in the...

    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.

    I may be missing something but wouldn't putting plates under his heels force him to come forward on his movement downward even more? He'd be shifting his weight towards the balls of his feet before he even started the move.

    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. You could camp rare spawn, make tons of money, buy gear etc etc, and expansions did not completely reset your efforts. In theory, resetting gear at the start of...

    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. It very much does increase interest since you know exactly what you will be getting (or at least exactly what a portion of what you are getting is) and...

    Isn't the lack of ARP or MP kind of the point of a hybrid build though? You do both types of damage so that in and of itself is your penetration stat.

    I wish we would all can it with the "immersion" routine. Immersion is in the eyes of the beholder. What breaks your immersion might add to the immersion of someone else. For some, hopping on a gryphon cheapens the experience because now they can "bypass" content (as if running along the walls...

    The argument against this from the purist's perspective is "If it's there it ruins my immersion just knowing other people are using it". And of course, you say you wouldn't use it and you really might not, but I don't believe you. The objectives being shown actually was not part of the...

    Just to be clear I'm not arguing for actual GPS that shows you the precise route and you can just follow a line on your screen.

    Brad already stated less levels right? Something closer to 20? I like the approach of less levels that take longer to get through and more content that you can consume for each level. It keeps people more concentrated at certain power levels, alleviates dead world syndrome and makes it easier to...
