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

So, where are we again? (I forgot where we left off on the other forums)

I know Brad posted those new screenshots on facebook, any other developments in the last 2 weeks?

New Pantheon Screenshots look pretty baller I have to admit.

God damn you, Booze. You got my hopes up for a second.

If Skyrim has done it, Pantheon can do it as well, but with more rocks.

Lol. I fell for it too. For a minute there I thought Brad and friends might actually deliver...

30 minutes or less or your pizza is free......oh wait, they don't have pizza either.

That wasn't in EQ1 or VG so it doesn't belong in Pantheon......

May have to make a thread over there asking for it then, if nothing else it should get me a little more hate thrown my way

Hey Kudos. Nice you here

What's wrong Rehtbro, you getting hate on official forums?

As sad as it makes me... This game is really the only MMO on the horizon worth a shit. It really doesn't look that bad from the twitch videos I've watched of gameplay. I just have a feeling it's going to run like shit because Brad is making it and he has yet to make a game that doesn't run like shit on anything but a $4000 gaming PC.

Original EQ - Needed a graphics card
SoL - Ran like absolute fucking shit
Vanguard - Ran like shit when released

I cannot agree more.

I doubt it's going to be unplayable or something (like Vanguard's launch day) especially since it's a Unity Engine and they claim to optimize the game after every update and let optimization happen afterwards (no idea what that means; this is what I read).
I honestly wouldn't care less if the game is not very optimize like BDO or Blizzard games. As long as it's running reasonably well (and I bet it is going to be) then I'm fine.

What's important is the game play and design approach. For the FIRST time ever since EQ I find a game I know I'm going to enjoy. Finally.

Nah, what's important is the game actually runs well. Not just barely good enough. But so well people can actually experience the gameplay and design without distractions and annoyances. Sure, a few lamers won't care about performance because they're desperate turds. But make no mistake functionality is absolutely the most important thing to get right.

What's important is that actually release a game first.

Would be a huge mistake to release a buggy game. People don't have the tolerance for that anymore.

I agree. But the MMO future is pretty dark and I don't see anything on the horizon that gives me hope.

I want to believe Brad! Be our MMO savior!

Yeah. I agree. My tolerance for buggy, half completed shit has basically reached zero. Ironically, it seems more publishers are willing to push out partially completed products these days. I miss the days where games weren't released unless they were in a playable state.

Hah. I just watched that video Bisi made. You're still a creep Bisi but would watch again.
