So why are you even in this thread? Just to whine like a cunt as usual and abuse your hall monitor status?You're not wrong there. Pantheon is a dumpster fire that couldn't hope to measure up to indie games like Ethen Carter in Brad's wildest dreams.
You talk about biased cunt like it is some mad shit I say. But look at the posts you ignore that attack me, look at EVERY fucking post from boozecube and Skanda. And have you ever done anything about any of those posts? No you haven't. You ignore those, but you shawed me for fighting back and I got stupid PMs from every day. So you ARE a biased cunt, and you don't get to pretend that you aren't. You are, all the mods are, and Suifag is as well.fixed that for ya qwert

What has really caught my attention is that through the play tests and similar, Ive noticed mobs seem very basic. At their core, its just +damage, +HP, +aggro linking behavior. Yet he has the audacity to bring up Dark Souls in his wall of text. Or better yet, how the "E" in "PVE" is going to be their main focus. I have yet to see a mob that is even remotely interesting. Thats going to be the nail in the coffin for me.
This is a hard line to walk around - because I dont want to go back to playing my UI. Nor do I want to play Wild Star-esque dance dance revolution. But fuck, I want to see a video of why a max level boss with 100 hp is more difficult than a lvl 5 Brown Bear with 500hp. All of these mobs Ive seen in these videos seem .... Lifeless? Pointless? Predictable? I mean, c'mon Brad. Im not against you, but I want to see better.
Most popular fps game right now is PlayerUnknown Battleground, and it looks and plays like it was created by 1 person using an Unreal engine fps starter kit. Anyone who has played the indie mmo project gorgon, actually created by one person, would be ashamed. Movement is stiff and unnatural, syncing of player movement and position is poor, and the animations look like they came stock with very mediocre player models from the Unreal store. The game feels completely unoptimized, it has only 1 mode, and only a single map. Yet, it has a certain charm. It's just fun.
... and they just surpassed 400k concurrent players.
Pantheon, though in a different genre (but no less saturated), will do just fine.
That's the kicker, there are plenty of people who are already captivated by the apparent recreation of classic EQ just because of what they have seen, even if you don't see it, believe it or agree with it.Only if something about the gameplay is found to be completely captivating by the players. So far, Pantheon doesn't seem to have anything too captivating that they've shown. Also, different genre matters a lot. MMOs require a lot more time investment per sitting.
This discussion does come up every few months. I don't think it's the combat or AI or anything specific. I believe it's just the ability to fuck up and lose something. There is a bit of fear and discovery that makes the game exciting. There was a level of risk/reward that doesn't exists in today's games. Also in a game like WoW everything is spoiled and date mined months before it was ever released. So falling down holes in various zones in EQ wouldn't happen today because Streamy McFuckface has beta access showing you in real time every fucking bump in the ground, as well as every spell and ability every mob might throw at you.
Streamy McFuckface is here for now and forever going forward, unfortunately. And now every dev, including Pantheon devs, want their own Streamy McFuckface because it gets a product into the eyes of so many viewers.
