Even if Bertox was a complete troll fabrication, his statement is still very true (as far as needing more technical people).
Please, for the love of Karana, put this on the Kickstarter page. People need to know you have actual code that does things.

From December 31st or so:
It's almost like I know what I'm talking 'bout.
Why then did I up to my pledge since I've had doubts about Brad's management skills since day 1? As I keep repeating, there are broader concerns than just Pantheon. If Pantheon fails to launch, but gets over a certain amount (not sure what that amount is perhaps 500k? Perhaps higher: 600k?) that will establish to the Other Eyes that Are Watching that there is interest in a 'hardcore' kind of game. If Pantheon fails to launch but gets under that certain amount - then we're screwed for a 'hardcore' MMO for the foreseeable future.
First I was like "how is that interesting" however I think getting the engineer to give an overview on the technical side of things, as anticipated, would be a good idea and something a segment of the potential audience would be interested in.
Brad stated that more people would join the team when the Kickstarter funds. At this point in the project, they need the concept guys doing the work. Once they get the funding, then it makes sense for the coders to come in.
Given what they have conceptualized thus far I think they should be the first called into the parking lot, or in this case Brad's driveway
Yes, and not every Jan 14 kid is getting mocked. The ones getting shit on are the ones making ignorant comments about the community based on their couple weeks in this thread. Or the ones in full blown fanboy mode who can't stand seeing negativity. This place doesn't need a bunch of pussies who run away when they get insulted, and it damn sure doesn't need anymore blind faith fanboys white knighting whatever their favorite MMO of the week is.
We have some new members who seem great. I look forward to them sticking around even after this fails. The rest of them can go pout someplace else IMO.

Get over yourself. I'm actively following this thread, which you happen to be posting in. I have no idea what else you're posting if it's not in this thread.

He's making an argument, that a lot of us just don't know anything about. I wont pretend to. There is certainly a level of blind faith to all this.. Which is why some people are not committed. I totally understand that point of view.. Personally speaking, all MMOs have a level of blind faith attached to them in the development process. It's just different now because we are the ones putting the money directly to that process. You have to decide..
I certainly feel for him with the firing.. That shit just isn't right no matter how you slice it.

You do the same, and we can both agree to stop shitting this thread up with this conversation. Agreed? Thank you, kind sir!

I was thinking this very same thing after looking over the engine. It's almost possible.

I like the concept of acclimatization system. But I also like what Bertox have just said.

The real question you should be asking yourselves is (and some have mentioned it already):
If they have FIVE unemployed designers on staff, and their conversations have been ongoing since September, how do they have nothing specific to show (or even describe) in terms of definitive combat mechanics or class interdependencies? With their "wealth" of experience on staff, there's really no excuse not to have an absolutely spotless and polished game design document ready to go well before the KS launch. Unfortunately, this professional negligence is exactly what those of us "in the biz" expected from that particular group of bodies.

Pretty much, yes. EQ is a relic, from an age where outdated and ridiculous game mechanics were accepted. Mostly because we didn't know any better, but also because we had little to compare it to. Now, with so many options available, most people have come to that realization.

Yup, weve been asking that for a while.
Maybe it will take another PC Gaming article for all that shit?
