Wow some of you guys are all over the fucking place the last day or so. The level of dipshittery is off the charts. First off nobody is sitting at their computers hoping that a good solid old school MMO fails, if you think that you are a fucking idiot or a troll. Do you really think there are people wanting to deny a good game out of spite or because they might not have the hours to play it? No the reason people want this to fail is because it deserves to fail. This team does not deserve our money, a team of professionals looking to make a good game by pouring their heart and souls into it deserve our money instead.
All of us so called naysayers would be overjoyed to find out Shit Fuck Studios was just sandbagging it the whole time like some shitty Dragon Ball Z rerun and turn the juice on and just knock this fucker out of the park. I would say with 99% certainly that it would make the entire community thrilled as hell.
Sadly Shit Fuck Studios power level isn't over 9000 and they will limp dick along as long as there are people out there to feed their delusions of grandeur.
The problem's begin and end with Brad McQuaid the brain child and leadership of this developmental abortion. I don't say that because of Vanguard, or any mistakes of the past, I say that because he is the captain of Shit Fuck Studios and it is his fault for the state that it is in. I wouldn't of even said that so bluntly at first but the lack of foresight these last couple of weeks have proven just that.
The sad fact is the current gaming generation lacks this type of game so badly that he was able to draw a vast amount of support with just his namesake and MMO in the same sentence. So many fan's, website's, and interviews who without question offered their support only for this cocksucker to piss in our mouths.
Look through their Kickstarter, these threads, their own posts, they do not have a plan, they did not iron out details, and they don't even have the integrity or passion to stick to their Vision if they are already flopping on the LFR, Auction House, and numerous others. They have been so vague in their explanations about specifics of this game that it had lead to many people making assumptions of what their ideal game would be and then assuming that this group was going to make their version of a game. Well wakeup call they are not making your version of the game, it isn't to disappoint you they just can't, right now they are promising everything to everybody and it only further illiterates their lack of professionalism and integrity.
Trying to discuss this game and the solo-ability to it, or how raiding will be, or anything else is pure fantasy, because currently there is no game.
THERE IS NO FUCKING GAME CURRENTLY.
Ok so rant over, let's get into more specific details.
Is there enough interest for this type of game?
Well from a layman's point of view any well made game reaching a base of 100k subscribers is not that lofty of a goal. When you take into account number of gamers.
NPD: Total number of U.S. video game players drops- Number of Gamers in US
Comparison of massively multiplayer online role-playing games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia- Number of people playing MMO's
Infographic shows $13 billion spent worldwide on MMOs in 2012 | PC Gamer- Dollars spent on MMO's
Aiming for less than 1% of that market is pretty fucking reasonable. Remember Niche game - People underestimate the size of the market.
The problem isn't the interest of size of the market, the problem comes down to this retarded bag of shit team. When building a business one of the first things you do is market research, to see if something is viable and profitable. If Shit Fuck Studios is planning on asking for money to fund their game then it makes sense to have an idea of the market, so they can explain why giving them money is a good idea. Sadly, we shouldn't even have a question about this, this should be answered for us by Shit Fuck Studios.
What is the goal of $800k dollars?
This might be the biggest question of them all. I've asked this already even though people think I am a meanie head for asking them about what they are going to do with the money. Shit Fuck Studios has left this vague we honestly do not know if it's for office space, payroll, to develop a demo-able alpha, who fucking knows we have all made guesses and if Shit Fuck Studios Captain would steer this sinking ship we shouldn't have to ask this question either.
What kind of game does Shit Fuck Studios want to make?
Again this is all up to your interpretation, most of us assume certain things.
big open world ?
nonlinear ?
reliance on other players (Grouping) ?
Non-instancing (just a little not to much) ?
PvP maybe if enough cash ( and it will be awesome and epic) ?
Crafting system ?
more generic bullshit ?
Take a second and look at that list, many of us assume that list means they are making the game we want, but that list means dick, it's so fucking vague and shitty. Not only that but when we do ask questions we get more details later as an answer. They say well we want to make quests important so not to many but just enough. Do you dipshits not realize that it is a non-answer, no wonder people fall for politicians lies all the time, but here we are with so many of you lapping that shit up.
The excuses like we aren't kickstarter professionals is old. The truth is they aren't just non kickstarter professionals, they are just not professionals period. Kickstarter itself willingly provides assistance with setting up, there are people you can hire to help set it up too, there are others in the industry with whom if you hadn't burned every bridge in town could assist you with making the goddamn thing.
How the fuck are so many of you supporting this still?
