Just further proof that EVE goons are the lowest tier of goons. They need their own containment zone.

If this was the one with the Battle Royal (all these Kickstarter MMOs have the same boring names so I don't remember), yeah, probably. It was the only one that really demonstrated capacity to actually run a couple of hundred players concurrently, but it's still going to be pretty lovely because it's main design concept (progressive area nodes) is basically completely pointless.

it's gone from being an utter joke run by a MLM con-man to still the exact same thing except there are plenty of people excited about the updates they put out for it. major guilds in other similar mmos are currently named "Ashes of Creation Waiting Room" and the hype train has become much stronger than it has any right to be.

they will be brutally disappointed again and they will deserve every bit of it, but they can't stop getting hyped up for dumb poo poo

This is pretty funny if you aren't familiar with where EVE goons are right now.

(They've been in a super long war for almost exactly a year now and are "contained" to one constellation. i.e., they can't be uprooted but also can't push out because they are super outnumbered)

I am thankful for the 'existence' of this game as I think this is the one that finally broke me of my habit of early access games. Positive outcome for me. Probably not so good for the game itself or anyone that invested in it though.

Asmongold had the main guy (Sharif) on his podcast/stream yesterday and they talked about it. Chat was just spamming $500 all stream and at one point he was talking about making the game affordable in some way for everyone to follow, which is hilarious when you know what the game costs and the dude is sitting in the living room of his mansion.

There's a Warhammer Return of Reckoning streamer who I'll put on sometimes and he spent the money to get in. I thought that was insane until a goon last page confessed to giving 1400 to loving Star Citizen.

My brother sent me a text about this (he was an EQ hardcore raider back in the day) and I didn't have heart to tell him it's never coming out.

What's MLM mean in 'MLM conman?' And yeah 500 bucks for a alpha key is uhh.. really dumb, and yeah like another goon said when the dude is chilling in his mansion and drinking water from a wine glass, but whatever I really don't know much about this guy.

Classes seem really loving cool, I'm excited about anything that would let me be a necromancer in some form inside a MMO setting. I guess I'll see how things go when these servers go up and Asmon starts playing it in a few hours.

Was Alpha 1 always 500 bucks? My understanding it was on some packages early on in the kickstarter and it was just added to some recent shop items. I was debating buying one for alpha 2 but didn't want to drop 150 bucks.

What is “500?” Is it like “over 9000!” or something? I don’t follow Asmon or the “Asmon reacts to” videos on YouTube, but I know who that is.

This alpha invite was only given to people who spent 500 dollars as a preorder. I'm sure Asmon + other streamers got it for free, since it's free promotion.

It's because people think the game is $500. Yes, you have to pay $500 to participate in the alpha (or be a streamer I guess) but you also get a year of game time and $150 in-game shop money, plus all the other stuff. Chat just sees the game as $500.

$500 is just too much to me to commit too, unfortunately. I'd hate to spend the $500 and play for 3 months.

All the normal MMO stuff looks pretty good so far. The combat is nice and somewhat flashy, but not confusing. The PvE stuff I've seen is standard newbie quests. I like how big and open the zone appears to be. It takes time to get where you want to go.

Haven't seen any PvP, node system, etc. Everyone seems to be doing newbie stuff at the moment.

I gotcha. Does make sense now, and I wasn’t busting Asmon’s balls, I just personally haven’t watched any of his videos. He’s probably not any worse than Fred or Annoying Orange I had to watch and pretend to enjoy for my then 8y/o son.

Goddamn I hated Fred.

He isn't all that bad, honestly, but because of the main game he plays (WoW, both versions) he attracts the lowest common denominator of viewers. But his opinions aren't all that bad, he doesn't have annoying mannerism or anything. He's just getting sick of WoW (a lot of people are) so has been trying other MMOs.

Almost irrespective of what the $500 gives you, charging it for alpha access feels insanely scummy. People do not actually view that as "We're overcharging for alpha access because we want people who will understand this is under development" (because no one ever does), people view it as $500 for alpha access.

Yeah I don't think anyone thinks the game on release would be 500 they're like you said reacting to how scummy getting early access for such a ridiculous amount is.

Also, because it's so controversial and triggers people. For every 10 people screaming about, 1 person is in there defending it, which riles up the others. I think if every person realized the $500 gets you the other things, which might be $500 in value, it wouldn't be said as much. But, we live in a click baity culture.

lol that was pretty good

Looks like he settled on 20% for now. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly the node system is though. What is the incentive to contributing to a node? And what is the long term outlook for nodes? Like is the poopsock crew going to build up each node and then move on to the next one, leaving the other nodes abandoned?

Asmongold is pretty your average 30 something year old white man gamer. So he is clearly going to rub posters here the wrong way (not saying it isn't warranted). He also call out random people on twitter and while he tells his fans not to harass them...you know how that goes.
