This is what was said and it's flat out false.
I mean, what the point here, that the abilities are the same at max level?

Yeah, that's categorically false. Each iteration of wow has seen cases where stat breakpoints and scaling would change priority on abilities and using the wrong ability would gimp dps badly. In fact I'd say the most recent xpac probably put the largest crush on that. Yes, wow is definitely more actiony but to say that character development doesn't impact that action is fucking false. Fuck, character development and trinkets can make wild swings between specs of the same class.

Spamming abilities is not really much of an ability or skill. If you're seriously too old to hit a bunch of keys repeatedly, maybe you should just retire. Or use macros.

I think people's love affair with crowd funding may be coming to an end... Based on the January numbers, projects simply aren't getting funded, regardless of their merit or presentation. Look at this gem that is struggling:

I'm dead certain that boosting my STR (as a rogue) did exactly fuck all to my max damage on a backstab (and autos), it only ever increased the minimum damage I did, bringing up my overall damage. I used three buttons in combat as a rogue, auto attack toggle, backstab and hide, I used them on cooldown, like clockwork and never skipped a beat. The only stats I gave a shit about was STA and +HP.
As a Combat rogue (read: not assassination or sub) I need to have my AGI as high as I can get it, while having Hit and Exp at 7.5%, then Haste as high as I can get it, followed by Mastery and lastly, Crit, if I feel like it. Assassination doesn't have the same stat priority, but AGI is still it's primary stat, and Subtlety doesn't have the same as the other two (bar AGI, obviously). Combat plays differently to the other two specs.
My EQ1 rogue played the same at level 8 until I quit playing him at 65. Autoattack on, backstab, autoattack off, hide, autoattack on, backstab.

Enchanter, Bard, and Monk would like to have a word with you. The difference between an average player and a great player at each class was huge. Most other classes in EQ played the exact same way at max level. Two Clerics in a CH chain were doing the exact same thing. A Mage was just spamming damage and summoning mod rods the same way. Not sure what your point is there.
Anyway, so yeah WoW did give all classes more emphasis on player skill. That is not a bad thing as long as it isn't "skill at performing a dps rotation, just because".
I was laughing when I read that, but then again, it could be worse. It would appear that tossing $300 million on a web site sometimes just isn't enough:
Even as sloppy as Brad is, I'm positive he could make us an MMO for $300 million!

Maybe we should have a Rerolled forum badge for people paying for a Pantheon [forum] subscription. That way we don't have to read their posts before realizing they're idiotic and not worth reading.
Even most shitty tv shows don't want a bunch of idiots thinking they're "giving advise" to the production staff. Only MMO designers with nearly 2 decades of experience wouldn't know what the fuck they were doing enough we'd believe it would be legit, not to mention useful at this point.
Sorry, but having common sense, business sense, and not being a fucking charlatan has certainly been done before.... oh, maybe that's why this is so new?
Are you really Ashton Kutcher?
It's a beautiful engine and concept art, but they don't go into much detail about gameplay. But yeah, I'm much less likely to Kickstart than I was before.
I don't want to be a jerk, but you are so wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. But, I know where you should. You should start playing some MMOs because you very clearly don't. To lump WoW in with the "action RPGs" is 100% retarded by any standard.
Very south karanaish........Some new screens. Maybe its because I've played the Wildstar beta lately... but I like the fact that it's not flashy or over the top. Just enough brown.
You can make that screenshot in Unity in about 20 minutes. Looks like random terrain, grassy plains texture and a single prefab tower that seems to have been placed a few times on top of a few different hills.

To me, this is part of the problem. Brad suggests they have been "hard at work" and i'm not downing their efforts but they can't fool people with some of their releases. The shot was fired prematurely. Their releases are all first day level information. This isn't what you expect to come in at the end to save the day. I hate to continually be harsh but I really wanted this to work but they have brought much of this on themselves. I hope they get something together in the next year to redeem this project but I think it is going to be hard to stay interested.

No it's really not. Action combat means, at a basic point, that you could miss if your aim sucks.
