It wasn't a single document per se...but was a bunch of different pages describing in a decent amount of detail the kind of game they wanted to build in each different aspect of the world including the world itself (size, lore, continents etc), combat, crafting, classes, politics (which ended up...

What Brad should have done (and maybe should still do) was take the old Vanguard vision doc that was posted to the Sigil boards during VGs development, take out anything that doesn't apply, add anything new, change a few words to avoid copyright issues, and roll with that. I was never more...

Did that DE Necro play on Bristlebane?

And based on Brad's history wouldn't those chances of success be 50%? I'll take those odds in this genre.

bingo. i know a lot of people love alts, but some don't. I create one character and stick with that one character until i'm done playing the game, which means that i need a way to keep advancing my one character over the long haul be it through an AA system or whatever. To this day i think...

That was the killer for me. Despite it's flaws VG was still a good game imo with a great fantasy world to explore. But when they made a joke of the exp. curve...that just killed it. Maybe they were already in desperation mode or something but to enable every player to move warp speed towards...

The jig is up! One thing i do know...Utnayan's industry buddies are some pretty unlucky bastards. They are supposedly some of the most talented folks in the industry yet seem to constantly work on crap projects led by highly incompetent and unethical no talent hacks that are able to torpedo...

I don't know the exact timing of the changes that were made, but those changes most certainly were made at some point. What changes do you disagree with? Combat was completely changed to move away from the original vision, and that was before launch. Now maybe the original combat sucked...

Pre-Beta VG: if that's the vision he has for this game (or anything close)...that's the game i would play for a long time. I remember in the early VG development days Sigil posted their (Brad's?) vision for the game. It went into great detail with regards to what they thought would make a...

"And I know that for a fact blackwulf so don't start the bullshit. I'm still debating whether it not I start writing articles for this site. But if I do, I guarantee you I won't be kissing ass, and I also guarantee you it will impact this sites ability to speak with developers." You are so...

ok, so how do you bridge from "combat roles are very important" to "you need to be able to always play with your friends and not have the holy trinity interfere with this necessity of making a great game" (to paraphrase). You've brought up a couple of ideas: 1) have social interdependence...

i was referring to his (or her) disdain for the trinity...or more generally the preference for games where either: one player can play any role at a given time (which is what i believe he is getting at) or a game that either doesn't have specific roles, or does but specific roles are not needed...

Aren't you a dev? Makes me sad that devs actually think this way...ughh

A recent example of why this is wrong: 1st person view in this game. Do they give a shit about one individual's opinion? No, and why should they? But a very strong opinion shared by many...yes, they care.

Whatever...I think I'll trust Utnayans non-biased second-hand info over your clearly bought and paid for drivel above. (But seriously...that's good to hear. I have no idea how this game will turn out but hoping for the best given EQN turned out to be a joke and I'm a huge TES fan)

Black helicopters! This is the only handle I've ever used. And I'm a nobody...just like you. And please don't act like you don't love the attention. You crave it. I will do you one favor...I live in Chicago. Now you don't have to waste time tracking my ISP to figure out what game...

Couldn't agree more. Please get off the forums so we have nothing else to read other than Ut's psychotic rants about how much some game sucks for the 10,000th fucking time. Awesome.

He's obviously a paid shill.

Looks like I hit a nerve.

Ut, just curious- have you ever actually...done anything? (Other than save millions of nerdlings from falling prey to evil mmorpg dev propaganda? Well...dozens anyway)

This will be worth it just for the psychotic Utnayan rants if nothing else.

If I didn't know that screenshot was from Wildstar I would've guessed it was taken from some game that was 10 or 15 years old. (I guess I fall in the realism camp of the realism/cartoon graphics debate)

Cartoony graphics...check. Switch classes on the fly...check. Spastic combat with obnoxious particle effects...check. Free-to-play ie pay-to-win...check. I'd call this game a WOW-clone but I think that's understating how bad this game really is. Absolutely nothing in common with original EQ...

I like most of what Flip had to say but FTP just kills it for me. FTP invariably turns into PTW...it just does. And I don't want to invest my time in a game where my achievements will eventually be marginalized by crap you can buy in a cash shop. Plus, it really just destroys...

You predict failure in a business that churns out failure 90% of the time. Good fucking job Nastradamus!
