I personally think scans of Brad's scribbled notes would be kinda cool...

Maybe I'm nuts
You definitely are, but I have a feeling seeing the madness behind the imagination would be cool, and maybe even help the project. Maybe instill some confidence that he may not be good with money, or being cool on video, but he's got a weird, maybe even misunderstood genius when it comes to random ideas that become something tangibly awesome.

To be honest, it's really not hard, be more specific than the current class reveals. Example:

Dark Knight, Main Role: Tank, Secondary Roles: Off-Tank, Damage Dealer, Utility, Control. Can use all bladed weapons and shields, uses plate armor. Uses a mix of strength based abilities and intelligence based spells. Focuses on tanking via debuffs and life leech. Can also uses minor control spells such as fear, bind, slow. Can shadowstep to move around, has offensive auras that have negative effects on enemies(Crippling aura, reduces movement speed and attack speed of all units around; Devouring aura, does constant damage and reduces armor of all enemies around you). Special class mechanic: Shadow Armor, the more you get hit, the stronger the shadows protecting you become, increasing your armor and life leech. After reaching the full shadow armor level, you will be able to activate it and absorb the next targetted spell(at you or an ally) and convert it into health. Doing so reduce your Shadow Armor to half.

Then disclaimer about how this shit is early early dev and might not make it as is and what not. But you'd get a much more precise idea of the class, its role and how it plays than the very vague stuff they've shown already, which doesn't even say if Dark Knight is a tank or an off tank or a DPS or can be all of these. They didn't even say if there will be multiple roles for every class or only specific jack of all trades classes.

The Q&A video was good. It may not have told you what you didn't already know but now we have the man behind the project addressing concerns and being truthful about the state of the project. That's really all he had to do out of the gate. Now there are no questions about what they do and do not have ready, what the money from the kickstarter is for and the future of the project after this KS (funded or not). He didn't give us more info but he took the criticisms and addressed them and he did it without caving into his normal tendency to hype the shit out of what might be possible with unlimited funding.

Now people can feel more confident about what they are actually choosing to donate (or not donate) to. "This is why we're here, this is what the KS was created for, this is the current state of the project". There is a very big difference between knowing what is actually going on but never hearing anything from behind the iron curtain, and knowing what's going on and having it conveyed to you in real terms from the man in charge without subterfuge.

wtf, no warrior class? i am disappoint brad
I know, right, no classic "fighter" class. I predict failure, you've heard it here.

Honestly, though, warrior classes have always seemed the least.... everything... in pretty much every game I've ever played except maybe Gauntlet. Why do people like warriors?

Warriors in WoW were dope. And they were really fun to play (well maybe not at release but within... actually it took Blizzard like a year to fix them, but they were fun after that)

If any of you at VR are listening... Please... For the love of god... Take down that TERRIBLE 'pre-alpha' screenshot with the skeleton and female caster.

It is doing you far more harm than good.

+1, Like, or whatever imaginary system you want.

Real bad shot. If anything, the Sunken Sanctum shots need to be the default.

Good. Maybe they're all working on the game to show some serious shit before the campaign ends.
Yea I think that's what they're doing. Scrambling. Brad looks TIRED in Q&A #4.
Also, for those who keep saying he's got mad cash stashed away so why is he being greedy asking for our money: He's wearing the same shirt in every video! THE MAN ONLY OWNS ONE SHIRT! I knew times were tough. I just hadn't realized they were that tough. Sorry Brad.

In addition to removing that screenshot, someone may want to update the pledge chart at the bottom of the KS page with the Inventor's Pledge ($900) tier information. It currently goes from Guildmaster's Pledge ($750) to Originator's Pledge ($1,000).

Videos are a shitty way to introduce information to the general public. I can easily skim a summary or bullet points and decide if I want to keep checking into a game or project. I'm not going to watch 5 videos though. I'm usually not going to watch ONE video, because videos can't be skimmed.

Unless your video is awesome, and awesome means game-play stuff. Their videos aren't awesome, so shouldn't be anywhere near the top of their KS.

He needs to look tired. They all need bags under their eyes. I want to see jittery hands holding coffee cups with cigarette smoke fogging up the entire garage they're working in. Baths? Fuck baths. Baths come after Kickstarter.

Looks like Brad is beginning to Twitter a bit. I'm sure he pretty much hates our community... lol
Doubtful. He's a big boy. Not a single one of us hasn't gotten a strip torn off of them if they've been here long enough. He's no different.

Good. A bit of hate for this community means we're keeping him honest? It's like how guys grow up hating their dad, then realize all that hate is really love for the man who helped them become a man. (And nothing like girls growing up hating their dads).

Looks like Brad is looking for help on pjp forum

Hi all,

I will be around this board quite a bit over the next week or so. I know you've talked about what I'm going to ask you guys for, but if you could post again in this particular thread it would help me (I have so little time in the day... it's pretty chaotic, but in a good way).

1. How can I reach out to people who don't follow news sites and probably don't even know what kickstarter is?

2. How can we improve the KS site?

3. Give me some questions that I will either answer here or in the next few Q&A videos.

All I ask is, well, no novellas. I really need to be able to quickly read a post and move to the next -- I'm sure you understand.

thanks in advance,

-Brad
