Damn apparently it was a legal termination:

He was playing addrullan online or whatever yesterday, was thinking they made him an offer but now…

Also the guy keeps pointing out there are more faces to the game but no one can name one. Damage is done, need a new face, can’t claim their is one until you do.

Nick was the guy I believed in the most in all of this.

Too bad, see you in Terminus.

I've watched far more Zukan, Shawn, and Goblin streams personally. For no other reason than when I had time for such things they were the only ones streaming MnM stuff /shrug

Weird, saw him streaming Andrullan last night (guess I had him followed a long time ago). Hopefully he doesn't join their dev team to fuck up that game too.

Whelp the chance of that is now a non-zero:

Fair…I guess since he is the only one here it hits different.

enjoy your retail wow while you wait for more of the same
I said MnM won't revitalize the MMO genre, but the next game after will. Some of us are taking notes and aren't retarded. We want to remake EQ in its glory but in a modern, fun way that is engaging. You'll probably be in your 50s by then, but hey it will exist! So, chin up pal!

If they don't roll back the recent nerfs and class changes, then this had nothing to do with the direction of the game and everything to do with providing a scapegoat to tap down Discord criticism.

Oh the need to roll back classes alright, but not the recent changes. They need to start the fuck over with a good chunk of them because from what I can tell many of the kits are either super strange and not really well thought out (Archer, Inquisitor), incredibly bland (Spellblade, Cleric, Wizard), or just repeating the mistakes of original EQ (Paladin, Necro, Druid,).

Notable exceptions exist in Fighter, Enchanter, Bard, Rogue, SK, Ranger, and Monk.

Kind of unsurprising but probably good for the game. Would be insane at this point if they tried to stick to then June release date. To be clear, will be miles ahead of where pantheon was when it put a price tag on their trash heap, but I fully admit propping this game up by those comparisons is big cope.

Nick just seemed way over his head. The guy definitely was passionate about the game but didn’t seem to possess the tools needed to be in the position he was. If this was a larger team and his spec was smaller - like , focusing on mechanics of a couple classes, then it mighta worked better for him.

not really well thought out (Archer, Inquisitor),
I been following inqusitor. was asking questions about their goals with inquisitor on stream. they seemed scared to make it an actual enchanter/fighter, and had wanted it to be more mean or agressive, yet never implemented that either.

I'd ask why enchanter gets X, but inq doesn't. it would always be like "well we thought pacify was too underhanded for inquisitor". the guy with invis? the guy with mez?

I enjoy CC and tanking. do not like charm at all. so here i am. I hope they do shape it up before ea heh.

That's a bummer that Nick is gone. I hope he does well to where he moves on to.

Inq is leaned WAY too far into direct magic dmg mitigation and not nearly far enough into CC for the class to make any compelling sense vs the other tanks.

they also COMPLETELY ignored the things you would want to flex on as a chanter tank. runes, slow. and fun things like illusions (fun?! in my tank?!). hell i wouldn't mind the goofy animation pet because my dps is so horrific

the magic mitigation thing is super baffling because the magic rune lasts like 12 seconds ...sitautional, cool. then i have a thing that makes me take %less magic damage on a long cooldown. makes the group do that. makes me immune to magic on a long cooldown, and a group version. a thing that makes casters cast slow (which is a slow cast itself so hard to anticipate needing) and then manaburn, the crown jewel, had its dick slapped off...maybe because the ONE button + kick act ually solved all magic related problems.

if there were a type of mob that just shit magic damage (with no cast bar) the magic mitigation would matter, but currently it doesn't. theoretically should be baller in raids that just shit aoes but...when?

My 2c on Blood Mage and Disciple specifically is they essentially require the friendly / enemy targeting distinction that Vanguard uses in order to function properly. You could use a sort of ghetto target-of-target system, or aoe off target or something similar but the classes were very much a result of that specific targeting system. I imagine it could be done without defensive targets, but it just wouldn't feel as good.
My 2c is that defensive target was an awesome addition to the genre (not sure Vanguard started it, just that’s the game I first saw it) and should have been the standard moving forward
