    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Every MMO needs to plan for that future when there are two few newbies in the 3-4 start zones and they need a Mines of Gloomingdeep to bring everyone together. I was never bothered by VG's Isle of Dawn having better loot than the original starting areas - it served the same purpose you're...

    Balance is the shibboleth of MMO developers. Did it ever work? And did it ever make an MMO more fun after the Developers picked up the nerfbats? People need to accept that classes can't be balanced and just pick one they find fun to play. What developers can do is give classes "something"...

    You're forgetting the necessity of 8 1/2 pound headphones to go along with your Rift.

    I'm going to guess that playing a game with ten pounds of shit on your head is not going to be as fun as it seems, especially the third time you hit your head against the cabinet. Also, I don't think the Rift has Picture-in-Picture so how are you going to watch Superbowl XLXI while playing...

    No - that just subjects the monk to a mean RNG which is never good. As I said, better to think of it as Jedi Mind Tricks (or Psychic Neuralizer) than Human Opposum. You can keep using the JMT/Neuralizer and they'll keep forgetting you're there. Though I'm fine with a class of mobs (undead...

    Quaid is just trolling this thread at this point. Why? Well apparently he got his panties into a bunch because in NTOV his shitty guild with shitty pullers made him wait 20 minutes so his beer went stale or maybe they made him spill his beer when they shouted "incoming" in chat - not clear on...

    Meh I'd rather see Druid ravenform, or Rogues with a Safe Climb ability (watching Prince of Persia the movie right now) or punk Red Pandad race. Save the flashy stuff for later. As an aside - it does seem if the kickstarter doesn't hit its stretch goals you could do exactly what someone...

    Yeah I'm not a fan of the "be all you can be mentality" of Rift (and apparently current WoW). People on this thread have an identity with their EQ (and VG) classes that they didn't have with WoW. I played a WoW priest for about a year - latter half as a shadowpriest. For all intents and...

    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...

    /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'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.

    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.

    it's not about whether they are good or bad it's about market penetration.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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...
