i know this is nit picking, but is there anyone else besides me that's not enamored with the name of the game? i think pantheon by itself isn't horrible, but rise of the fallen makes it sound like it's a viagra pill.
I'd rather have the name of this game I support over: World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria...just saying.

Sure, I am fine with this as long as male character models are objectified as much as the female ones. How about a slider for the size of a male's package, if you know what I mean /wink. And while I am at it, I'd like to request that all male characters have a perfect body, gorgeous face and the smallest man bulge allowed by the slider should be substantial. After all, I want some eye candy too.

/end sarcasm
Honestly I don't think anyone would give a shit besides a very small handful of people. Bring on the dong sliders. Also I'll trade my boob slider for a shapely ass slider any day since that's what I'll be staring at most of my play time.

Guys the game's name is EverQuest. I love the shit out of it and its name now but just sit analyze that for a second.
I remember when my buddy in high school was trying to sell me on playing EQ. When I finally agreed to try it, I said, "well lets hope the game is better than its awful name."

After ignoring all the fluff talk, the Cleric reveal contained the following actual gameplay information

"The Cleric is a healer. "


I don't think you can launch a successful kickstarter on star power alone....

I don't care about boob size options, but it's idiotic to have thick armor, especially stuff like plate mail, have boobs show through. It's completely ignoring human anatomy and just looks dumb as hell. Like adding a big ol' steel codpiece to a set of greaves or something.
I dunno about you but I want my codpiece as armored as possible. Have you played these games? There are dick height midgets everywhere! With axes!!

We talked about this and I found it a bit premature.. Sounds like the meat of the class design is held up in the PC gamer article.. They would of been better dropping it after.. I'm guessing we won't have all the info till class reveal week.

precisely, as this game is build on the idea of a return of the trinity to oppose titles like EQN.

as stated earlier, I promise they revealed the cleric just to say 'see we have healers, HEALERS, oldschoooool' but that intent escaped most people, myself included, initially. they sat around and made that reveal a very deliberate decision, but it flopped.

watch them reveal the warrior and enchanter (or pantheon equivalent thereof) next.

Like a lot of people said earlier in this thread, technical execution is a part of game design. MO, Darkfall and a myriad number of games have a "hardcore" game design, but their technical execution was shit. Unresponsive UI, Bugs, terrible network lag, poor optimization and a whole gambit of terrible technical features. Just because some people are so starved for a game of that type that they play anyway, despite these game destroying short comings, doesn't make it any less of a disaster. Countless good games have just gotten shit on for being technically deficient.
This is exactly how I felt about Shadowbane. It seriously had some of the coolest and most "rpg-like" elements of any game but fuck it was a shit client.

Cool features:

Stats that could change your character's appearance (size)
A flying race
Real thievery
Town creation/conquest
The ability to "spec" in any of your character's abilities to become better at them
Huge group sizes
Real evasion tanking even for spells
Runes that added cool flavor to your character a la bladeweaver
Multiple base classes that could choose the same advanced class for a different flavor
Etc etc

Too bad it was such a shitty client and the game play really needed regular server resets to keep it interesting.

Why wouldn't they? Those were 2 well loved classes.
they shouldn't because they need something a little more exotic, and dare I say interesting to both maintain and gain attention. if their next reveal is 'the warrior: he tanks' it really could be a momentum killer despite the fact the the tank and healer dynamic of class interdependence is the reason we're into pantheon to begin with in a broad sense.

I think that's bullshit. Most women I know care way more about the size of their boobs than I ever have.
