Their PR guy came out and said: "We've put all of the stuff we have on the kickstarter already. We're trying to generate as much stuff as possible now and are putting it up as soon as we can."
That's fine. Give me a month with the design team, and if they listen to me, we'll all have the game dreams are made of.
As long as I can kill guards, and eat whatever I want, I'm cool with Trolls living at the landfill.
I'm not saying it's bad or good. I'm just saying that is literally what is happening. Pretending they have a plan is naive and actually just plain ignorant.
Let's run an experiment. Everyone go to the Kickstarter forums and make hundreds of posts complaining about cross-server play. If they don't come out with an update in 72 hours "clarifying" the cross-server comments to not actually mean cross-server, I will make an entire thread dedicated to praising how brilliant Aeiouy is and how lucky I am to have read the posts that stem from his brilliant mind.
It's about building a world instead of just a game. I remember discovering that there were different newbie loots, like the Mino axe, that players who started in Freeport knew nothing about until some exotic traveller imported one across the sea and sold it to them, or maybe they decided to travel to that place and find it himself. A quest to find the Mino axe.
Fair enough. I still think Brad is a moron, charlatan, and hack though, and someone who doesn't deserve to have his project funded based on the drivel of shit he's put out since this entire thing started.
Ya you can make any theme work. Fuck Freeport was good enough to be a single city. Would be interesting to see how you could protray the cold war between the Knights of Truth and militia with modern tech, all while the evil necros live bellow you.
Right. AKA reaction mode. If you aren't proactive, you're reactive. Well I guess you could be stagnant too but since they don't have anything designed yet that wouldn't be possible.
And if Brad hadn't done this before - EQ, Vanguard - and was just some random scrub behaving like he currently is, his project wouldn't have ever crossed the $10,000 mark.
Just as an FYI - the entire city of Freeport, from the layout of the roads to the exact positioning of the shops and docks, was an EXACT carboncopy of Waterdeep in TorilMUD. Wish I could find a map of it so you could compare. When I say exact, I mean EXACT.
That's really the point. It doesn't make sense because not all the races will tolerate living among each other. It's that simple. If you don't have that conflict, that's one less conflict you have in the world, and it's a HUGE, if not the biggest (racial), one that will always be missing because: trolls and dwarves started 50 feet away from each other in different-colored shrines.
Right, we all speculated. That's all we could do. You realized it was speculation and you aren't trying to yell from the rooftops "Have faith! They have a plan!" like some people are. None of us really know. It ended up being a subclass system but nobody knows whether they came up with that during the Crusader write up, or if it was planned from the beginning. Pretending it was "obvious" is ridiculous. Nothing has been obvious except their lack of preparation.
tad10 denied it of course
Some googling came up with some info on tdewey.I like that title, but it's unavailable for purchase
You of all people should know I write unproduced and unproducable scripts. I thought you chimed in on that way back Millie thread.
