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

Hmm, after watching that video...my inner mmo nerds corpse stirred from its grave...just a twitch....but I thought that was "impossible" at this point (I dont think I've posted much in these forums for years....).

The good thing for Brad is that most of us poor EQ kids from those days have money now to fund this project, that is, if they can deliver without having awful ideas like chunking (hi 4fps in a major city) and the "golden path". Cautiously optimistic is more than I ever thought I would feel towards any mmorpg, so, here's hoping more good things come out of this.

Ok, I'm in for $100. Even if it never really happens, I am just glad someone is out there trying to make this kind of game.

I want to support it, but 2017 is so far away. If Alpha is expected to start a lot sooner, than maybe. Or is Alpha, beta, and release all expected to take place in 2017?

I would imagine to keep this thing getting funded that Alpha would begin in like a year?

Also, who's going to be the 10k weirdo?

It seems like they think they can get this out in 3-4 years. I wonder how big their team needs to be for that to happen. Harfle should give me $10,000 so I can make a dungeon.

Did 300, don't fuck it up brad

3.2mil for Bard gogogogo

Well, there's certainly a couple things I'm disappointed with. The biggest thing probably being the way he answered the corpse run/death penalty question. 'We aren't looking at harsh penalties' seems to be totally contrary to what I thought this game was. Oh... And telegraphs are in... Let's hope it's not over used.

The stretch goals are bizarre and the pledge tiers are worse. Alpha access should have been at $150 tier, beta at $70.

On the other hand, he said a couple things that I'm quite happy about. The optimist in me wants to hit the $150 tier... But the jaded MMO enthusiast in me likes the look of that $45 alpha.

Decisions.

For me in $150. I can always make more money.


I do agree the tiers are weird. After alpha its weird shit. Alpha should be more and beta should be on more up. Unless they aren't expecting many high dollar backers and more just people willing to dump 20-45.

Yeah, for $45 you get a pretty damn good deal.

1.6mil reward is UI modability that players can sell in the ingame store?

FTP + micro-transactions?

I don't think this thing will get funded. All the pledges outside the $10 pledge only add up to $972,500. That means nearly every single pledge will have to be taken to fund the game, and I don't see you you can get to $7 million to fund all the stretch goals from 900k just using $10 pledges that don't give you anything. Brad needs to fix this quick.

I think those class stretch goals are retarded. Monk is probably the easiest to design, but is the most expensive. Sounds like some devs don't want to hear the bitching about FD

lol. I'm in at 150. Disappointed about Monks. But I suppose I can play a filthy rogue until monks show up someday.

surprised about corpses, you have to think they'd at least do vg style XP debt. But sounds like they want to make very tough boss encounters. Well see if they pull it off.

Edit: Agree about Ks issues noted by others. They're missing a 250 and 5k tier and both alpha and beta should have been more expensive. They may need to do a do over in 45 days.

You can always adjust those things and add in more tiers as things move on.

I can't see the KS at work, is a moddable UI really a stretch goal?

Stretch goals in spoiler:

man. some of those stretch goals. totally fall under, "I would not play this game if it doesn't have this.."
The low target ensures it succeeds as a KS I guess. Let me know if the game hits 3-4m though I guess.
(or 8m to remove water content)
