So the IGA Kickstarted Bloodstained was years behind, had a 3rd party company (the people that did shontae) come in and help...they kept adding little things...kept just giving us monthly updates with fan art....etc.etc... and yet... today, my physical copy has arrived at my door for my PS4...
keep the faith?

I'm still cautiously optimistic. There's no reason not to be. The project as a whole, as well as the actual team, is growing every few months. Brad is essentially a PR marketing name at this point only, Chris Perkins is running the project, and I do have some actual faith in him. The CEO is legitimate and has a solid track record. And they have hired some relatively known commodities in the MMO space as of late. We'll see what happens with Project Faerthale which should be finalized and revealed within the next few weeks or months. There are going to be several new zones, a city, a raid encounter, new animations, new character models, new VFX, and I would anticipate the official Summoner and Druid reveals. They took the game down for half a year to finalize this build, if it doesn't deliver, my cautious optimism is going to evaporate quickly.

Thats not a bad thing, IMHOLooks like the EQ Enchanter got Copy Pasta'd.
Good work boys, bang up job.
Don't you mean years? I think they've already been "hard at work" on it for over a year. I mean, the spinning orc model took eight months at least. August 2018 to April 2019. There's a hell of a lot more to do for that project than models that seem to have wildly surpassed their 1-4 weeks creation time estimates.

Holy fuck. Good post and it takes a brave man to admit he's been conned...AGAIN. I don't see where anyone can dispute your post, which is the truly sad part. A few zones. Regurgitated COHCARNAGE! shit over and over. Poor animations, bad art. That enchanter looks like he's wearing a cheap Walmart ensemble for his next Vanguard cosplay. Dead pledges...over 5 YEARS of barely anything. It blows my mind it's been so long since we made fun of that kickstarter. I can't believe Brad is still getting money from people. What the Pantheon finish line will look like.

hasn't even posted on the forum the past year. Is the dude still alive or with Pantheon?

I don't get how you can be angry. How people these days can believe that giving money to any kick starter or pre release purchase without understanding the massive risk these days is boggling.
I gave money to Brad in the chance that a game I enjoy gets made. Like a lotto ticket. If I win, great. If not, I understood what I was getting into.
Gif related. Brad collecting pledges.

I'm not angry lol and great gif. I didn't donate, was vocal in my misgivings early. I hope something releases but it really isn't high on my desire list. I think its sad where MMOs are not angry. I enjoyed him letting it all out and I find nothing false about his narrative or the opposite. There's almost nothing to see either way. It is stupid to donate to kickstarters and I hope he learned that. Its doubly stupid to donate to brad but it ain't my money. Anyone can have at and ill keep lmao.

I think it comes down to if you think they are acting in good faith. So let’s say you support a kickstarter and despite best efforts shit just goes south that’s one thing. Feeling scammed because you are constantly lied to and given smoke and mirrors bullshit is another.
I feel bad for anyone unlucky enough to have been duped by this hack but that’s also why even from day one we have been holding Brad accountable, you go back to the start of this thread and people were not looking at Pantheon as a joke we started by asking Brad legitimate questions and even tried to help him avoid the Kickstarter boondoggle, but the junkie fuck didn’t answer basic questions, couldn’t accept the most basic of criticism and was obvious it was just a paycheck for him and couldn’t care less for the fans of the genre.

I think for the majority of us are just in the "wait and see" category. Whether thats the wait and see the release and go in with the lowest of lowest expectations and hope to be surprised, or waiting on the inevitable crash and burn. Vanguard didnt get my money, nor has this game. Though, Pony Tail did get me with EQ:N far before I ever saw the Lion. Theres a good population of people here on the forum that are hoping that it does well. Simply because some just want a fresh new MMO to play, an updated EQ with very similar lines etc.
Right now, I'm looking at just purchasing the expansion to FF14 next month and starting that from scratch with my g/f. Last I played was before Reborn, and its said to be an almost entirely new game now. With the low expectations garnered from my original experience, I cant help but think I'll go into it and be pleasantly surprised. So in a way, I guess the same could be said for how Im going to approach Pantheon if it does indeed come out. It'll at least get a box purchase out of me if they prove they have more content than what they've shown in pre-alpha stage.
The state of the game is the only thing that seems considerably off. I dont quite understand why... if its playable enough for a twitch stream, why this wouldnt be considered Alpha right now? Why they arent at least letting players roam around the three supposed WoW-Class Barren Size maps and two dungeons that they have. They look playable to me. The classes look playable to me. Why havent they let these guys that did give money just play that? It'll be under NDA, so I dont get it? So of course people are starting to think the game is a farce. Is the server infastructure on the back burner? Sharding on the back burner? Something at this point needs to be addressed for the "Stage of the Game" soon.

I agree, its been way to fucking long.What is it now, 5-6 yrs? I tried to give him like $20 or some shit during kickstarter, but that shit failed so he never got my money. But there is no way he, or any game for that matter, would see a $250+ donation from me. That shit is bat shit crazy.
I understand that this team is probably 5 people in the back of a garage somewhere, but I also dont understand/trust that if hes got something playable at this point, why hes not getting real investor money. Leads me to think that this is nothing more than a pipe dream still.

I've actually kickstarted numerous projects in the past, and I go in to each and every one of them full well knowing it is a gamble. The success rate has been decently high honestly, and one of my favorite board games was actually one of the kickstarters I backed.
Out of all of the kickstarters I have backed, only 1 out right failed. It was a kickstarter for a guy that was creating dice custom made to order. Basically, his kickstarter was to cover the cost of the equipment he needed to purchase to start his custom dice making business. It was a great campaign, and would have been a great for all of the people out there looking to prototype new games. The campaign funded, and things looked like they were going good, but then the guy ran in to extreme health issues. Eventually he told the community that he was not going to be able to run the business because of how bad health he was in, and he offered refunds to all backers. I refused the refund. I told him to keep it because I felt he would need the money more than I considering the hell he was going through with his health. I walked away from the project with out any anger what so ever. It was what it was, and nothing more.
The deal with Pantheon is that the kickstarter was cancelled. It never funded, so he never got any of our money from the kickstarter. It would have been fine and dandy if it had ended there. Instead, Brad put up a website, and scammed all of us out of our money outside of kickstarter.
