The more I read the stretch goals the more I think that the game will be empty of my favorite things.

Even today, playing vanguard, a lot of players who come into it leave due to not being social enough to find groups. There are a lot of other reasons why they leave still, but not communicating is one of them. Not sure if a game where you require people to be social will work.

Loving Life Partner posted:As an old school tempered in poo poo Everquest player, everything about this excites me, one thing kinda throwing up a red flag for me from the Kickstarter pitch is this though: I got a feeling this is going to be more like riftways of vanguard. You can teleport pretty far, but there is always something you need to ride to and things you can't teleport to.

Or the boat going west to east instead of east to west. Or the boat loading in and moving away before you loaded in. Swimming in the OOT was fun. So you are going to more faction and epic quests then. Will grinding dungeons be more of the way to get experience? Or camps.

Loving Life Partner posted:Are there any plans to explore a more malleable world that players themselves can affect meaningful change onto? Even if all you can do is push small parts of the world from 0 to 1 and back in a binary or trinary configuration, it adds a great deal of lasting enjoyment. This takes the form normally two ways. Instanced places where person A may have the town on fire and person B does not since he finished the quest. This makes it so people can't see each other until they exit the town like ESO. It is rather bad. The other way is global events that well, take too much design and effort for the pay outs. GW2 is doing some of these and limit when they can be done, potentially locking away content that people could otherwise do. This is also not a good option. There really isn't a good way to do this except for minor dynamic events like War or Rift and even those get boring.

Brad McQuaid is doing another mmo based on the things he made in the past. So is lord British. I kinda feel like this is the mid life crisis of mmo devs.

Flarestar posted:The negativity over McQuaid reeks of bitter old game vet syndrome and ignorance. Old game vet syndrome might be because he hasn't done much of anything new. 2007 was vanguard, which was bad to most developers involved. 2010 was a co-founding of a start up for casual and social games that failed to find funding and ended in 2012. 2012 was joining SOE to relaunch Vanguard with a bad F2P model. 2013 was him switching to EQ1 and then leaving half a year later for this. I don't know where the ignorance comes from, since he hasn't done much since those old games. Speaking of F2P models quote:@Calidor You will need to purchase a copy of the game to play beyond a certain point. The "F2P" portion can be seen as more of a trial than it is a traditional free-to-play game. I'm expecting to see another EQ2 or Vanguard style F2P model that splits the player base and is aggressive towards the players asking them to upgrade now. Going to put money on there being a button that you can't remove saying GOLD MEMBERSHIP. EDIT: Going to throw this out here as well, I want to see another game by Brad. I enjoyed vanguard despite its bugs. I'm not going to back Pantheon and I doubt it will work. Third World Reagan fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Jan 28, 2014 |

quote:@Vextagora I'm not sure I understand your question, but I *think* I do. Anyone will be able to download the game and start playing. This will be the free portion. However, after you've played to a certain level or a certain amount of time (we haven't decided which yet), you'll need to buy the game in order to keep playing. If you pledge for multiple copies now, that means you won't have the level or time limit on those copies.

I think you don't get how comparisons work. It can be compared in every way. The success ratio for any project is still good. The success ratio for bigger budget projects may be a great thing to use, but we don't have that do we?

Brad, you probably should look into a heavy push for your game a bit more later today or tomorrow since SOE is just now launching an alpha of EQ landmark.

Basically he went back to redo vanguard and EQ for their free to play models. You know, the ones that were bad and split the player base.

Node posted:I'd argue that Vanguard wasn't a bomb. It wasn't a success, even though I loved the game, but I don't think you have to pick one or the other. Stop saying dumb things. It wasn't a success when they lost money on it year after year according to smedly.

I think someone is doing an emulated server for vanguard and for everquest 2. I would really never wish that upon someone. http://vgoemulator.net/ It is neat cause they say they need more people and they are working on it, then you look at this page. http://vgoemulator.net/index.php?p=projman It used to list the same guy for all the assigned roles but now it just says hidden.

They needed to come together as a team and remove brad from the front of this project, but they didn't. He could of been "one of the guys" instead of "the main guy." Maybe they tried that but failed. There is a thread on their forum about the negative responses brad is getting about being brad.

According to that post, Salim Grant has information that it was more grim, and gave that information on KTAM, but can't find the info on that radio station.
