If this tops 15k backers I will be surprised and 20k I will be shocked. Star Citizen only got 34k during the KS.That is the general consensus for sure. I think 150 is a good one myself. The $45 alpha could be limited and once sold out be bumped up. At least that's what some people seem to think.
I'm sure there was a ton of thought put into the structuring. There has to be 100k old EQ people there missing these games. Toss 20 at it and we are funded!
It's not a troll but I would expect to see some fine tuning on a number of items. Here's the thing that I would have expected to have been better presented: No one is going to contribute just so everyone can play classes and races that are expected to be part of any Fantasy MMO, like Ranger and halfing, especially if they don't plan on playing them. They need something to pull them into contributing towards it based upon something *they* want for themselves.I know right!? I'm half thinking this day 1 stretch goal listing is a troll to all us early backers and they come out in a couple days with "HeHaw, here's our real stretch goals". I mean some KS dont even bother listing stretch goals till they're fully funded.
I had the same problem. Worked on my wifes computer using Firefox. She mentioned something about lightwave. Some kind of player I guess. I dunno...was to lazy to install it. I just watched the video on her computer.Really weird problem , nothing major but anything that puts off a potential backer who stumbles upon it might be worth noting,
The audio for the video on the Kickstarter page won't work in Firefox for me (tried a second machine and same thing in FF.) Video plays but no sound. Plays fine in IE though. Might be a known thing or not , just figured worth pointing out.
I think that air and water are ok as stretch but some of the new adventure zones should not be stretch but ex-packs or add ons for later on. I really would not mind if there but only one continent in game for launch something modest just to accommodate several thousands of players, then add to that over time once the subs start to kick in...Yea I don't see them asking is to pay a sub for beta after we already donated to get in. I'm not concerned about this hitting its goals. It will gain traction. Just think some of the stretch goals should be reserved for after the game launches like the air and water content..
Had the same experience. Was giving myself a vague budget of $500 going into this. Settled on the $100 for now just because nothing above that was very interesting to me. I don't want to pretend I'm a dev and name an item or make some poor company have 'popsicledeath' in their credits (because it really is my actual name). I'm not sure what more I wanted, not overpowered items, not nerd bragging rights like my name engraved on a shithouse (tombstone, maybe), not to think I'm 'in' by being in the dev guild chat where I'm sure we'll see a lot of people thinking they're hot shit and 'know' the devs because of it..... was thinking of this being a KS I actually contributed a decent amount to , but the tiers past the 150 range really
don't have much that goes , wow I want that...
LOLI'd pay double if my gnome pledge took away from the monk pool.
