I watched the video, and they're using the same sound effects, the same "con" system(Scowls at you ready to attack...looks like an even fight), etc. Just seems really fucking lazy when they are trying to create a "unique" gaming experience. Plus, they are really bad at playing their own game.

Pre alpha it looks good. I hope they keep the eq feel to it. I also hope it is sub and not f2p.

I bet it will be B2P + cash shop, after all they are a small company and need all the funds they can get to keep up with development and to keep brads stash box full.

brad did an interview with a fat youtuber named boogie (no disrespect intented, thats what happened)

in this interview he described the pay structure of pantheon as having a f2p tutorial, then a paywall subscription to enter the game after a certain level

its not even alpha, so its just placeholder content. it can be polished later.

It really doesn't take much work to actually make some placeholder sound effects, and that sound decent too. Very very easily done using today's VST's, even free ones. Grabbing shit from other existing games is just lazy and wrong.


Anyway, I like the grouping concept of the game, something lost today. Downside is it's just another typical high fantasy game outside of that.

There is like 4 people developing this game....its not a studio. There are going to be a lot of placeholders.

Nah, generally around indie groups it's considered very bad form to grab assets out of other peoples/companies existing games and stick it in yours, even as "placeholders". There are just tons and tons of affordable and even free vendors for your asset needs if you can't be bothered to work on that stuff yourself. Just like the engine they are using, they went out and licensed it... if they paid for that I mean rather than yet another "placeholder" sort of deal. These guys are raking in bucks, are they actually spending it on anything development related? I've seen lots of these quick-build asset-grab games come and go, don't get your hopes up.

wasn't that during the Kickstarter fundraising era? Things might have changed.

I could care less what the fucking game looks like; for fucks sake people, you're playing EverQuest. I want it to be memorable, not FPS GOTY IGN material.
