Ya I just posted on my Old eq guild HATE but they were more PvP focused. Still some might have interest.
You mean kinda like EQ had, but without the floor telegraphs that become their own little arcade-style mini game that only really work (as currently implemented) in third-person? Are there no better ways to do this kind of thing than creating a game of frogger in fire?
This is exactly why I keep beating the dead horse to Brad that he needs someone other than himself as Producer. There are a lot of people on the sidelines who like Brad the Designer but don't trust Brad the Producer because of VG. VG had sufficient money (30 million) to ship product: but its scope grew out of bounds, so Sigil ran out of money.
I don't want capoeira in-game -_- The only floated idea I haven't liked are the floor telegraphs.
At the same time he's on kickstarter just trying to raise the bare minimum to get the project off the ground so is it really a great idea to bring another guy on board who's going to demand a $100k a year salary?
Lol. No, presumably he can find someone willing to do it on the cheap just like the rest of the crew ;-) I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm currently debating on internal guild boards with ex-VG people who were fans of VG but are still annoyed at its shape of release and who, correctly IMHO, blame Brad for its condition at release, trying to convince them to fork over just $20 or $45.
The thing about EQ was that someone could play it sparingly and enjoy it for a year before getting to cap with tons of engaging and fun content available before the level cap. There will be players at a higher level than you with much better equipment, but that's fine, it gives you something to shoot for and it allows the players to be different instead of everyone wearing the same quested items and instanced dungeon/raid items one month after release. In the off chance that you do get some time over a holiday or something you could make a run for a few levels and finally get in that dungeon and get that hard to get item and really appreciate it.
Brad should do an AMA on Reddit. Focus on Pantheon but be willing to talk about EQ1, VG, etc.
^This right here Brad. AMA on Reddit could do you a lot of good if you are willing to actually answer some tough questions honestly.
He's heard your shit, drop it and in three years if things go poorly you can smugly claim that if only he followed your advice everything would be great.
Yes thats why they need to get Noel, or Brad or Dan onto those sites and explain wht Pantheon is a great idea!
Normally I would agree. The thing is, a lot of us have asked numerous developers of any new MMO that was coming out, not to make it easy. We all gave input to what we wanted, and none of them listened. I wonder how many emails Brad has gotten over the years to bring back the style of playing we had in EQ?
I hope they're doing this. I hope they have a wide scope that they realize may or may not be attainable, ala the stretch goals format, and are concentrating on building the necessary core. I don't see them promising water content. I see them promising a good core to the game that may one day be able to incorporate water content.
