Yup, that's the actual projection chart and it's even worse since the trending # is the high-point of their projection. Obviously none of this is guaranteed, as shown with several Kickstarters that had very large pushes near the end. Though I imagine their projection chart takes that kind of data into account at some level.
if you think people are apprehensive about pledging on ks, where they can retract bids, id imaging a direct paypal payment to brad would be even less fruitful by a large margin.
I get why you are grouping them together. What I am saying is that I would rather none of the classes be grouped together. That way, there is no tendency to start ensuring that each class has a version of the other class's spells for "balancing" sake.
I didnt like the dungeon setup in TOR because *drumroll* they werent integrated in the leveling experience. They started on the fleet, to have any chance to form or join a group you had to piss your time away without playing while waiting for members. (similar in GW2 with LA actually but there it was a playermade issue I guess).
I'm sure there's enough suckers from that KS comment thread alone, that will at least pay their bills for a year to work on this.
I love the honesty. And it sounds like a cool idea. Unless he only set it for 7 days, he's getting no love. KS is so weird...I guess sometimes it doesn't matter if you "do it right" or notCheck this out by some kid working on shit by himself. Brad might want to pull some ideas from it and at it to his kickstarter.

Here is an example of transparency that might help your potential backers if you haven't scared them off already.
Budget
Most of our money will go towards development, and will remain in a bank account. We need money to pay people for their initial contributions, and then sales money will go back into that account. I am happy to answer any more questions you might have, and add clarity to the campaign if anyone requests it. This chart seems pretty simple, but it's accurate.
Risks and challenges
I've been working on this for almost two years, and I've encountered just about every obstacle you could think of.
I'm betting a lot on Story. Story isn't just a means of fulfilling my dreams, it's a way to fulfill the dreams of anyone who wants to write or design.
I don't turn away help, I won't overlook a good idea, and I'm not afraid of cutting something that doesn't work.
As long as I'm not dead, I'll put in the hours to move this forward.
If you're worried I'll fail to deliver, watch the video. Failure will result in more than me wasting a lot of time and money, I will probably never stop being harassed.
Holy shit someone with a passion for games, upfront in the process, and a little humility too. It must be because he is an expert at kickstarter. I bet he went to 4 years of kickstarter college. Goddamn the more I think about the retarded responses we have received from this fucker the more I wish I could pledge negative money.
Oh i totally agree, and would prefer that too, but as things look right now, it doesnt seem they are going that route. Actually the whole class things makes little sense. For example lets look at the classes they have listed.
Im curious. What retarded responses do you refer to? Or, are you just on the "I hate Brad" band wagon because it's popular at the moment?Check this out by some kid working on shit by himself. Brad might want to pull some ideas from it and at it to his kickstarter.

true, so I guess then we will call them Offensive Fighters, like VG rather than Melee
We've been telling him this since day three. I guess he's going to slog out the 30 days and then we will see what he has planned for another run.
i said it before and ill say it again
I am referring to the "We're not kickstarter experts we're game designers" response.
What they are putting out now barely qualifies as info. It's not like they are super descriptive.
