This is how I am starting to feel about this Shitstarter Campaign. I like many others have repeatedly suggested taking this fucking thing down apologizing to the community, and being open. I mentioned that they need some fucking meat to this shit sandwich but instead Brad pops in once a day to toss in a half-hearted one sentence post and then bounces. Fuck this guy, if you want some fucking support spend some time here. People are dying to give you money all they need is a reason and you can't even provide that. Of course your fucking lap-dogs will hop on our nuts for criticizing this shit tell argue semantics as to how we aren't fitting into some definition of investor or complain that we must not really want this because otherwise blindly giving out blank checks is a solid plan.
Everyone is asking questions is problem is they can't fucking answer them because they don't fucking know. They don't know what they hope to accomplish on $800k, they don't know what the classes will really be like, they don't know much beyond wouldn't it be cool if we made a game. If they did they couldn't possibly be so fucking stupid as to sit on that information? And if they are that fucking stupid than they don't deserve our money.
This concludes the rustling of the jimmies.

Not even close to the same thing and you know it. I'm sorry, but shit like this makes your "inside info" all the more unreliable. You made Brad+SOE sound like a done deal -- without ever providing any proof, of course. I guess Brad is not the only one here who doesn't back up his talk.

I feel disapointed by the response on other boards for this project, that SA thread had far less posts then I thought it would, And SA was really big at the time EQ was with the same demo.
Cpl other threads I looked at were similarly disappointing. Not sure this can be blamed on the Shitty KS

If those threads are linked to the KS, then someone heads over to have a look and are completely underwhelmed by the pitch, why would they have anything to discuss?

If he gets as far as making a beta state game that can actually ship, SOE will publish it. But if he cannot even get 800k in funding, SOE won't be putting anything behind it. This shouldn't be hard to understand. I also know you are trolling to get things fired up in this thread again.
And it is close to the same thing. Vanguard was in shit shape when it launched. SOE didn't care. They had a desperate company with a game that could ship and for SOE it's a fairly easy business decision to collect royalties and profits with minimal support without funding the game. Fairly easy decision. The same concept would have applied here, except insert the general public in place of Microsoft.

That's pretty much the situation I always assumed would happen. Just makes sense.If he gets as far as making a beta state game that can actually ship, SOE will publish it. But if he cannot even get 800k in funding, SOE won't be putting anything behind it. This shouldn't be hard to understand. I also know you are trolling to get things fired up in this thread again.try less.

They wouldn't. You would think with so many people saying the same thing Brad could at least acknowledge the elephant in the room. Just a "hey guys I hear the feedback, I appreciate everyone's passion and we're working hard to correct some of the mistakes we had with this projects rocky start" would go fucking miles to easy some of the concerns here, but this arrogant mother fucker can't even do that.
The single most infuriating moment in this thread for me is when Brad quipped:
'We're not KS experts, we're MMO development experts...'
THEN IT'S YOUR JOB TO BECOME A KICKSTARTER EXPERT YOU DOLT.
Ok I feel better now.

He's actually said almost exactly that every day of the kickstarter. That's the problem. He's has been hearing about how lacking the campaign has been for days, responds with the above, and then releases more poorly thought out garbage (Cleric reveal, batman) and fails to modify what needs to be modified (demo screenshots, confusing Q&A answers).
I will give them credit for the tier rewards chart. Was pretty well done. And the quality of the tiers and stretch goals have improved greatly.

But is DARK KNIGHT the best "MMO development experts" can come up with in 1/2 a years time? If so we need new "MMO development experters_01"
Weird how all the following Kickstarters were not only funded in days, but in many cases massively over-funded, but this one doesn't seem on track.
- Wasteland 2 (Wasteland/Fallout successor)
- Torment (Planescape successor)
- Elite Dangerous (Elite successor)
- Double Fine Adventure (a frikkin point-n-click game)
- Project Eternity (Baldur's Gate successor)
- Camelot Unchained (DAOC successor)
- Shroud of the Avatar (Ultima I-X successor)
- Shadowrun Returns (pnp game + Super NES/Genesis game)
- Planetary Annihilation (Total Annihilation successor)
All those games have similar nostalgia factor to EQ. Has the "free money by Kickstarting an old-school game" train finally run out? I'd take spiritiual EQ successor over any of those (except maybe Wasteland).

I'm guessing if I do a check, every single one of those projects had something to show. Characters, art, character models, lore. It seems only Pantheon came to the table with absolutely nothing but a longwinded Q&A.Weird how all the following Kickstarters were not only funded in days, but in many cases massively over-funded, but this one doesn't seem on track.

I think many of those kickstarter campaigns were simply better organized and pre-hyped to help bring more pledgers in from day one. There is still plenty of time for them to turn it around but they really have to start bringing their A game.Weird how all the following Kickstarters were not only funded in days, but in many cases massively over-funded, but this one doesn't seem on track.

I never understood why warriors had to give up all utility to be the best at something. I think a cool idea for a warrior would be a hybrid of fighter, rogue and ranger. Basically a warrior with good ranged backup abilities and a lot of melee tricks to debuff enemies.
