I can't be the only one that watched and was underwelmed. Was hoping for a little original thought into it

i'd be completely satisfied if it was an exact clone of eq with modern graphics. there are a lot of similarities to eq but they are changing a lot of things. the game is supposed to have the style of an old mmo but with some new shit

That game looks like if you took luclin graphics and put WOW Ui over it. I'm still a pass.

still in development, shit takes time

I like to keep up to date on what assets the unity store had on sale each month

[entruil]

I wish more gaming objectives were "overtuned"... should be more "Unbeatable objectives", "Attentive Players" and "Knowledgable Theorists"... alas, eq killed them all long ago...


still hype...

Peace...

They even said that that last mob was a red con. All the others were probably high blue, white and yellow cons.

Now take a non twinked classic EQ group at around level 28 pulling mobs in that range. The result would be about the same. You don't see that a lot in p1999 because everybody and their cousin is twinked to the brim. Usual untwinked group pulls blue or white and is challenged by yellows, especially when they bring adds. Even low reds take good preparation. And that's how it *should* be.

I'll back this up. Tankdan seems like a "overtuned" idiot

Agreed. It's not much different on Uthgard. Full group in Keltoi Fogou wiped every 10 minutes because of 1 player. Group did eventually disband but reformed minus the 1 player. No matter how much QQ goes on, players are pretty resilient. Yeah they will quit, but at some point they'll come back and try again. It's hard accepting defeat, especially in a game where you can see that, somehow, other players are advancing.

What happened when DAoC players tried P99...

Postby svperstar » Sep 14, 2014 10:08 So I played 2-3 hours on Project 1999. No, absolutely not... I really wanted to join you guys and have some fun but Project 1999 isn't fun... It is like paying some 7 foot tall 400 pound dude to come your house and beat you with a baseball bat...

Postby svperstar » Sep 14, 2014 21:23 It was kind of a dick move me Rage Quitting when you guys came all the way to help me out, however the reason I quit is I literally walked over 2 hills and got lost...I might try again but I dunno...

Postby svperstar » Sep 28, 2014 10:23 I have been playing again I am level 12 now. Brutal game but its fun.

Also the Pantheon team did say that they were aware how strong the mobs seemed but that they'd rather work backwards from things being too hard than to simply scrap a certain mechanic or whatever. In other words, they're trying to see if the impossible can be done and when it absolutely cannot no matter the strategy employed, they scale the difficulty back just a bit and try again. That's what I took from the stream at least.

Just imagine how a pre-alpha EverQuest would have gone over back in 1998(97?) if streaming were possible back then.

Hmmm I'd play it

[gildor]

Things will ramp up and change drastically with the new round of investors that just closed. A ton of art positions opened they are hiring for..look for things to pretty up a lot moving forward

Until it fowls up like Vanguard and Brad steals more funds like how he did on kickstarter LOL.

My prediction is it'll be sold once again before it's even finished.

I'm lazy. Has Pantheon been sold to someone?

Currently, the scam is as follows:

(1)Charge for forum access (Like a game subscription)
(2) Offer Pre - Alpha testing to larger donations
(3) Offer Alpha testing to mid level donations
(4) Offer Beta testing to low level donations
(5) Seek out venture capital

This is the biggest scam/money sink that any commercial game has ever taken. Offering those services before the game is even in pre alpha is halarious. People shelling out a subscription long before the game is near release. Estimation on release is 2018 - 2019

After the debacle with Brad stealing Kick Starter funds, I think it's safe to say this game will go down in history regardless if it see's release.

wow yeah thats a lot of paid access. i mean 3 different iterations of paid access is rather suspicious. and then u see people on the forums gassing it up. A lack of investors speaks volumes i remember he was trying to get some kid to spring his trust fund on the game lmao.

brad said the kids trust manager blocked it and that brad was sad about not being able to scam him wrote a whole blog update on it back when pantheon was in its first scam phase.
