this is the shit I miss in mmos.

The Perception System
One of the most profound things about Pantheon is how we are designing the game from the ground up so that the Environment truly matters - we want players to care about the world they are in, and why things are the way they are. When you think of MMOs, when is the last time you discovered the meaning, or the history, or the secrets of a person, place or event without being told by a text box? What if we've conceived of a way to bring players back to exploring because they are compelled by what they see in front of them - not because a blinking light tells them to go there? In Pantheon, Wizards will be able to perceive things that a Warrior cannot. Through prayer, a Cleric may gain insight into an area, or a creature, that a Rogue could never know. Through our perception system, Pantheon will redefine how the game world becomes known, and how players will work together to progress.

What is kind of cool is in Risen 3 they introduced a concept of Astral Vision. Which is almost like going into detective mode in a Arkham game. But you gain prisms which make your astral vision highlight things. Like if you have the alchemists prism it will highlight plants to pick to make potions. The vision of gold will highlight treasure chests and lootable objects. It isn't the most fleshed out thing in the world but it is kind of cool. They could incorporate that in some fashion here. Like a Wizard uses some spell and it transforms his vision mode. Lets say it also highlights weaknesses. Like this mobile has a gap in his armor at the left flank. So you tell the rogue to attack from the left flank and this transfers like a bonus where the rogue gets a 20% damage increase. Something like that. Instead of "Use Perception" and it just pops up saying "Fuzzy Trolls are fuzzy. Burn their fuzz with fire!"

That's actually pretty cool. No idea how they plan to do it but I'd hope it's more than just text.

Well what Mario just wrote is pretty spot on. Rogues will reveal traps, wizards reveal magic items and doors, bards use songs to open secret doors etc etc etc.

That's nice for dungeons and stuff and has been done before. What I personally would like to see a game do is have a narrator giving you information when you reach a new area or dungeon or a special item depending on what class you are. You would get a different part of the story based on your class. This gives you reason to play other classes or find out from different classes what part of the lore or story they got. I think most people are tired of reading walls of fucking lore text.

I play a halfling in every game that has them I love Hobbits. I don't know what to think about Steampunk Hobbits but I'm not 100% against it yet, I assume you can pick a model with less SJW hair.

Also,

That never-was is speaking at an event with some serious people today. What are you doing with your day??

Ok. I'm done letting Skanda shit up this glorious update. I enjoyed the new content. Definitely wanted more but I think that's natural for gamers. World looks pretty rocking!

Glorious update? Do you hear yourself? Jesus dude you are drowning in the kool-aid. You are either seriously delusional(aka that wolf guy during TESO) or you are working on this team. Because even someone who had a friend/family working on this wouldn't suck it's dick so hard.

Fuck you too Cinge!

I obviously embellish a bit on here when some of you Faggs jump in and get down right petty, deal with it. You have no problem with the opposite side of that coin. If you actually read my post, I was hoping for a little more but I'm certainly not unhappy with whatt we got. That was obviously there to get a rise from guys like you...

But for the record, not that I haven't said it. I fully support these guys. What's the problem? I wish them well and I know they're working hard to deliver.

I appreciate the capital F in Faggs. Attention to detail like that makes all the difference.

Have to say I love the FAQ answers. They have a plan, and they have target dates. Probably won't hit them but at least they have clear goals. That's more than we've gotten out of SOE / Daybreak on EQ3/Next in 6-8 years and how many millions? Sad..

A bit? Read any of your posts about this game, I thought you were on their PR team from the way you post.

Have they not been doing a good job, post fuzzy troll era?

I'd be their PR guy but I typically shit post on my phone with small blurbs like this.

Have they? I see nothing that says they have. I see a website update that seemingly took months to do And that's it.

Was fun to watch you get so excited and to hype it up, just to see a website.
