Like noted before went fro 250 to 45 , honestly unless you are one of the 300 sold out , why not drop it to 45 and let Brad and Co know to shape the fuck up on amateur hour Kickstarter ?

Along those lines I'd go back to 250 or higher if enough was changed on how they run the next few weeks.

Eh, honestly don't care about the dk name. It ranks with the name of the game - a little bland, but something that wouldn't really matter as long as the whole game was looking good.

Did they trash all the shit they have been working on for the last 5 months for some reason? I ask because the stuff they are releasing me and my friends could have put together in a weekend fueled by chronic & Mountain Dew
^

Show us something substantial. You've supposedly been working on this since September. Time to push all in.

And please get someone that understands Kickstarter and marketing. Do it for the children. I know you guys are a small team, but really - there is a lot of talent out there that will work for damn near nothing except a promise of a good game and maybe a steady paycheck once the game launches.
Im sure he could get someone to do it or free in their spare time. There is plenty of diehards out there that want this to succeed.

To be fair, haven't a constituency of former EQ players said for years this idea would sell itself?

Not sure adding the specific skill/spell names alluded to in the class description would make the difference that some seem to think it would.

Cleric class does not make sense without halflings in from jump.

Finally finished reading this thread after reading four months of eq next posts. I think people are hanging a bit on every release of information. I'm Dan.
I think those of us former EQ players saying that for years were hoping that the Kickstarter wouldn't pick right back up as "Sigil Disaster, the Sequel"............

Total's going backwards now. Beyond the 10k being removed. Maybe it will wake them up.
"Hey guys, looks like we can't be full of shit like we were with SOE and Microsoft for all these years. Gamers are smarter and not as gullible. WHAT IS GOING ON"

... .

"You mean we have to actually come up with a design document and have a plan this time?"

Hi Dan,

But you still need to get the message out to those people and have a sound plan in place right? A kickstarter with just the pledge of being the next EQ next with Brads name on it is just not enough.

There's how many people on this project? 10 they said? What the fuck are these 10 people doing? It's week two and we barely have any information. Not to mention they started working 4 months prior to launching the KS page? From what I've seen so far, I'd say one guy could easily do all of it, two if you include the generic guy asking questions in the QA.

can you imagine another kickstarter campaign down the road?

'come on guys, everybody deserves a third or fourth chance' doesn't quite have the same appeal as a second.

likewise, no more 'brad mcquaid is back!' press

VR needs to unfuck THIS campaign. quick.

Kinda comical a mod designer for Arma (Dean Hall) can pull off a ton of Alpha sales for DayZ SA but Brad might not even reach 300k for his project.

I would like to see it get to their goal but I highly doubt it -I hope I get proven wrong.


Dark Knight? Really?

The circle-jerk is very strong there. I wish I could post comments on the Kickstarter.
I'm glad they have a supportive place to go.. Brad still comes here for perspective tho.. That's all that matters to me. Keep it critical but fair IMO... I'm on the fence about dropping a pledge tho.. I'm still supportive of this project and feel like long term that may do more harm than good.. The biggest question you have to ask, kickstarter aside, is can this team make the game we all want? I personally still believe they can but I totally understand all the doubt.. They aren't helping themselves.

Fuck it , I pulled my pledge entirely. Keeps me from being able to rage at the idiots on the KS thread.

Also you get to fill out a question of why are you pulling your pledge ? I said in short version the shitty way the KS is being ran and I'd be back in if it became better presented.

Maybe they actually will read that feedback.

There are plenty of slots left on all the possible tiers I want in on anyway.

They have my $45 till the end. I wont be dropping my pittance to $20. Its the least I can do for 6 yrs of EQ.

The constituency of former EQ players are all now much older, wiser (for the most part...) and less likely to be baffled by industry bullshit. We can see through it much easier. Sure, we'll get excited about the promise of a hardcore EQ like MMO from the guy who put out EQ - but once the rubber hits the road and you are asking for us to pony up some of our paychecks... well, you better have something to show.

So far this has been total weaksauce.

You dont need a source Quinn. He is more attributed to the failure that is Vanguard now than any past success he had with EQ. Its harsh, but the reality. go on any forum he posted on and you will see the trolls come out of the woodwork...
I would like a source to know if he even tried to get funded by a major publisher since he left SOE last year. Because if he didn't it's just a fucking bullshit statement.

People are welcome to think major suits are as stupid as Utnayan and his merry band of trolls, I don't.

This shit is so fucking weak. I want to scream STOP at the monitor.
I just wish for once they'd just have a Paladin and Cleric class and have the EVIL versions of these be fallen paladins aka death knights/dark knights/shadowknights/doomknights/ebon knights/black people/oh wait and the evil clerics be goddamned evil. I want my dark elf cleric that worships the god of hate to have HATE RELATED POWERS not the same HAPPY FLOWER POWER as the clerics of the god of love and faggotry.
