Millenials are brighter than you think. They listened to our generation when we were complaining about grinding, back when nobody thought it was real. Either that, or they learned real fucking fast. My point here, if this game makes it to market it's only going to be an extremely niche game. Filled with GenX'ers who can't wait to relive their glory days as gamers, and then realize that they have a life and can't sit there for 50-60 hours a week playing it.

Sure, there'll be some outliers. But not enough. Millenials want a decent kickstarter, and Brad hasn't even shown them that. What I think this board is showing is the cautionary tale of a guy who talks a lot but says little. I knew that back on the Vanguard beta boards.

God damn some of those posts were long, and all they summed up to was, "Yep, this game's gonna rock!" Fuck, that took an entire 22 paragraphs to say?

Good Post. All true, too. There are too many other games now to stay playing something sub-par. The quality of games has risen so fast, any game that doesnt reach a certain standard is almost ignored or marginally successful at best. That said, I doubt anyone posting in this thread has actually cared about Pantheon in quite a while.

Tell me more about your PHDs in game development.

Skanda Skanda acting like making games is "magic" and an early prototype of a game with a mockup UI is indicative of anything to come. Sad!

I am not Brad's biggest fan and this whole thing has been a trainwreck, but who fucking cares if they got textures from the asset store as long as the environment looks good? As long as the models and animations don't look janky at release it's a non-issue.

Funny you mention that!



Hey look, its the EverQuest pre-alpha, featuring the launch environments with all placeholder models and animations!

Could Pantheon be taking a similar development route? Hmm...

They are developing a game? Going to compare the development team of WoW to Brad Skidmark McQuaid and his rocking crew?

Are we comparing a company using their own art assets to a company purchasing assets 17 years later?

No, the point went over your head. A prototype is not indicative of final game quality. Even Blizzard and World of WarCraft, the definitive best developer and game in the genre had a prototype that looked like complete shit.

Prototypes are just that--prototypes. World of WarCraft was first prototyped in WarCraft III. Hearthstone was prototyped as a shitty flash card game.

Funny if you think that Blizzard only uses their own assets for prototypes. Also, are we comparing the richest/biggest game developer in history to a new indy startup?

Many of you are very detached from the reality of making video games (let alone MMORPGs).

This screenshot is exactly WHY I can't freaking wait to play the game!
The combat text; YES! GOD DAMN IT FINALLY. Every time I get reminded they're doing EQ's combat I just can't believe it. I hope they don't change their plans mid development, I'm knocking on wood this would be the final combat system.

So you're saying that you are comparing graphics from 1999 to graphics bought from a unity store in 2016... Do you have Downs?
