People get on Brad for his puffery and braggadocio but Brad has nothing on Smed; which is why I've advocated for shitcanning Smed for years but was willing to engage with Brad in the early days of Pantheon, and would again if Brad would just one time admit he's not a good project manager. -_-
Brad has got a more playable MMO-in-development right now than Smed. Which, frankly, I would never have believed 6, 12 or 24 months ago, given that EQNext has been in development (in various forms) since 2008.
Just forget about both Brad and Smed. It feels good to just let go. Come to the Crowfall thread and leave it all behind.
Not into all-PvP, all-the-time. Hope it does get completed for you and those who do though ;-)
LOL, for whatever reason (serendipity I suppose), this statement has legs for me.
Full-on PVP on transient procedurally generated worlds, with Garrison-type personal instances between PVP wars.
Well earned. They even drew people not big on pvp in. That's the blueprint on how to succeed on KS.
That's not exactly valid. 5000 backers so far which is exactly in line with the number of people who are already wanting this type of game(actually about 10-15 k less than I think will push hard for this game). When you have $50,000 donated to make potato salad online...than the actual money amounts really aren't quite as impressive or descriptive of total support.
3 days? It's pretty good. Lots of people don't donate to KS. It has really lost its trust with gamers the last few years. They are looking good.
In other words, they are every other MMO company ever (except Blizz in its heyday).
They are looking good and I'm excited to see what they have in store for us. Vitalitys argument was just a really bad one. 5000 early supporters says nothing about what kind or level of support they receive. I'm hoping to see at least a $2 mill funding level by the end but even if not, they have met early expectations which is very good.
So, 5000 supporters argues against the point that Eve on the ground may turn off a lot of new and traditional players? How? How does 5000 supporters argue anything besides a small group of people want to support your vision of a game? Is that number significant in any way?
