Sorry about the total fanboy stuff - I went a bit too deep undercover there for a while, but I'm reevaluating now.

It may be over, but at the very least it'll go on for years.

Just look at the threads for Pathfinder Online

PFO is hilarious. They actually had two kickstarters.... one to raise money to pitch the game, then another to make the game since nobody would by the pitch.

Pathfinder already had an audience of malcontent grogs ready to eat up whatever bullshit was spoonfed to them. One particularly interesting note that sticks in my mind is the promise of NO NPCs or at least very very few, because the players would be the whole economy!

Anyway, they at least managed to fulfill all the physical rewards, since they were just books and poo poo that already exist and were sold at the time; and we're in true end game "Not dead just delayed" whereas there are between ONE and TWO people working on the game now. Every once in a while Bob manages to poo poo out another release with some mechanic or another implemented. Per this post they're not going to design another art asset for the game, just build code around whatever is there.

Pathfinder is strugglign with going to 2.0 right now (because if you form your loving company around people who hate change they aren't going to like it when you change) and Lisa has poped in to say that PFO will adopt 2.0 eventually.

But the game is basically dead at this point. https://goblinworks.com/forum/topic/5788/?page=2

Also I forgot this but at one point they just said "Your free game time starts now login or lose it" lol so they think all the game time is delivered.

Plot twist:

39 year-old Hollywood shooting star Sandi Gardiner unexpectedly lands her first blockbuster movie starring as the young and beautiful wife of a sexy bear an uninspired novelist in "The Perception", enabling her to invest more than 50 million dollars of box office revenues back in Star Citizen.

"After years of exploiting resources paid for by backer's money in order to selfishly advance her career as an actress, she felt it was about time to give back to the community" an uncited source told the SA Forums.

Cevat Yerli (co-founder and greedy, vision-killing CEO of Crytek GmbH) reportedly burst into tears after hearing the news and immediately dropped the lawsuit looming over CIG heads.

In other news a reliable inside source revealed one of the many features that have been hidden from the roadmap: Alpha 3.7 will elegantly prove the Riemann hypothesis, so make sure you pledge as hard as you can and don't miss out on Citizencon 2949.

Can I get a solidarity sixer for the grand tragedy that is the Ouya being dead while Star Citizen is still a twitching corpse on strings? No justice in this world I tell ya, gotta pour a few hours out for the fallen.

Seriously, look at this loving roadmap... Q2 2019...



15 tasks completed ?

For 500 people working during 3 months ?

Organic shader ? What the completley flying gently caress is this fuckery ? A task for a shader ? You know there are thousands of shaders in your typical game ? They made a TASK out of a SHADER ? What the...

"AI Spline Paths v2" ? That's just an iteration on a sub-component of a sub-component. It's not even the final version, mind you. Just v2. How many versions will there be ? 3 ? 4 ? 10 ? 50 ? Nobody knows. But yeah, backers are happy. It is progress !

"Player Free Look". Yep, this is high-complexity engineering requiring millions-of-dollars here guys. And how is this "free look" any different than the currently existing free look ?

"Curelife Medical Pen". Imagine the meetings, the hours with teams of dozens, that this insurmontable task must have required.

Sorry for meltdown.



How can they not already have this done? Regardless, this is almost a trivial thing. They are putting it in Q2 of next year?

It's basically a timeout a moderator can put you in if you're being dumb. You can read the forums but not post. The shortest interval is six hours, and it is used for anything from very light punishment to a joke. It goes in your permanent rap sheet, and some posters like collecting novelty ones. You can check some of your fellow posters' rap sheets to see if they have any (I think I have at least a few) or you can check the Leper's Colony to see the ones I'm handing out.
