Great interview Draegan. Really liked his answer on character development. The uniqueness of the characters in Shadowbane was one of my favorite aspects of it. Being able to build out a character to play to my playstyle and tweak the min/max elements there of was amazing. If they could just rebuild that game with a fresh look and no sb.exe errors that refreshes every couple of months, they will have me until I die of old age.

Meh never mind not my type of game.

If you ever get another interview some questions I would love to see.

When he talked about resources, and especially the part about a cart and horse and he said someone could come and kill the horse, and that would leave you unable to move the resources. Would the resources be like Archeage and be persistent to the world. (Packs that drop to the ground on death or are able to be dropped and last for 5 days in the world itself.) Could you have a new horse attached? Could 20 friends show up and lug the resources back to base.

When resources are used to craft are they then altered enough to be un-useable after the fact. Like a stone wall that has 100 stone resource used. If it is destroyed can it be salvaged for say 50 workable stone? Can enemy swords be smelted down, because your guild crafter makes tier 3 shit and the enemy only makes tier 1, so the swords are crap but the raw materials will be of use.

Same with the cart, in the previous explanation could it be salvaged?

Here's the answer: We don't know yet.

Thanks for that, Draegan. I really enjoyed your interview style, and would definitely love to watch you do more. Your voice and demeanour really suit the format, too. Good job.

after watching the interview unsure if I should stay at the 1k pledge thoughts and feelings? I know by release I will have time to play with grad school being done.

1k is pretty steep for this one right now

1k is crazy if you're not in on development or have financial interest in this.

I don't see the point in doing $1000 or $2500. Neither of them get you playing the game any quicker. Unless you just REALLY want a unique Guild Heraldry.

Fuck that, up it to $10K.

Halfway to the first stretch goal. There was a pretty big drop off in donations today, though.

The dropoff is normal, first and last 3-4 days are usually pretty good, in between its really slow. If they get 20-30k every day until the last days they cant complain.

With the skill system being passive gains. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to buy more accounts then doing a bigger pledge? With two accounts you can always have a crafter mule with you.

I don't think I'll ever give my money to some company without immediately getting a product in return.

I enjoyed the interview, but to be honest I could probably 'say the right things' as well, doesn't mean I can make a good game. It will be interesting to see how well they can flesh out their ideas, especially regarding campaigns and getting a skirmish style gameplay going. Combat, visuals and performance just have to be good enough to not ever be annoying or frustrating to me. The only game I've truly enjoyed the past 2/3 years has been Path of Exile, but even there I thought the duration of leagues was too long. I'd like to be able to restart every 3 months or so.

I gotta ask. Why are you guys so for this game, but hate Camelot Unchained? I backed both(Early Amber), and will play both. The hate for MJ seems to be in the wrong place when it comes to WAR though, since EA were the ones that pushed it out the door before it was ready, then fired MJ.
