Also this is why ill pledge. If this game fails I want it to do so because it sucked rather then the community thinking there is no market for a hard core mmo.
I want to give more than 45 , I just want to see the KS not only funded , but WELL funded. Give me and others better tiers to give more money. It's a shitty KS atm overall and hope he will immediately fix it.
Couldn't agree more. Masses beg for a game like this, then when the time comes they search for every excuse to not jump on board. People will piss money away on disposable garbage or shitty games then freak out and not contribute because the KS quality isn't top notch. I agree that the KS could be better, but what are you actually buying into anyway, the idea for the game or some shiny video with some cheap salesman trying to swindle you?
It's not the amount that is probably putting people off or making them reluctant. Some people just don't like to blindly throw money at something you pretty much have only marketing speak for(and if we gave into that, every game would have been amazing for the past 15 years) and the reputation of the person running it.
And things like this. It just seems so disorganized atm business wise. It's literally every thread on these boards where people talk about what they want in a game.
Many of us "negative assholes" have already forked over money, but are concerned that the kickstarter page and tiers are not good enough to reach a larger audience and be funded. We want it to succeed, so we're offering advice. generally speaking, people don't want to blindly throw money at something in hopes of it working out, the kickstarter page does very little to convince most people to back it, imo.
Exactly this. Im not giving money because of a kickstarter page, i'm giving money because this is my only hope of a decent hard mmo and if this fails you can be sure there won't be another guy in a long time to come around and build this type of game.
That particular question was answered in the Q&A #1 Video on the kickstarter. I'm sure they can't answer all of the questions, though.
uhm my point was that they ARE answering questions, but in PRIVATE. in other campaigns, the question/answer will show up on the kickstarter page for all to view. that's a source of content.
Exactly this is why McQuaid and Co need to get off their ass and fix the mediocre at best KS page. If the KS barely funds and the game fails exactly what you said will happen. That's why I'm miffed at the state of the KS and want them to get out there and push it and fix it. If it doesn't fund or like I said barely funds and a terrible game is made it's going to be pointed at that this type of game can't work.
Yes i don't understand why every MMO has to be a 200 million dollar juggernaut. Lets have several small team, small budget games that cater to a more focused playerbase. Then if one of them is successful then maybe they can make a version that is more mass market. Just reverse the trend. I know several niche MMO's already exist, but most of them are not North American based. Also the free to play trend is ridiculous. I don't see why the console structure would not work for MMO's. Release a game that makes some money just with the box sales, then release several smaller DLC updates.
