Game is coming up nicely. It's a game for old-school players so I'm guessing most of us following Pantheon are well in their 30's and 40's, meaning, us the 'old school', or just old, are probably in no rush to play another unfinished mess of a game.
So Brad, take your time bud it's all good. And to the Debby downers and negative nancies , chill.
I care about your gaming 'problems' and teenage anxieties, just not today.
Though i do have to once more note my concerns. Less than a year than their expected launch and critical, central issues are still up in the air. Experience says this can only result in a rushing them in and us hoping a proper Alpha will suffice. In normal circumstances that could suffice, but it would still be a bad sign. Stuff like classes specialisations, how they will function and so on, economy and how systems central to it will work among others should be set in stone (even if only on an idealistic level) from the get go. Says something when they're not, conceptually speaking you'd expect these things to be thought of in advance.
Even worse, as you may have noticed, i said "in normal circumstances". Hardly those applying for Pantheon, not when you got such a strict time window. A year before officially launching and so much up in the air is not a healthy sign.
For me mind. I understand how others may choose to view this differently, ignoring two decades of rushed in and/or shallow minded projects. And they do, and good for them. This is me stating my own opinion
Either way, again, looking forward to it. Make or break for many of us, gamers and developers alike, lol
Ya Aenra, as arm chair lead and head hypothesis fabricator, Its nice to hear all your "concerns" as you work to get this product ready to ship. I have total confidence in your role of king knit picker and chief worry wart ( aka: foreseer of doom) to get this team through the finish line.
Late to the show here, but definitely happy with the progress. Honestly what I am most stoked about is the fact that they've hired five new team members. If I recall that basically is a 50% increase and that's very very important for two reasons. 1. Content creation just takes man hours, just the sad reality, more people = more man hours. 2. It means they still have funding at some level otherwise they wouldn't be hiring people. Funding is good.

Some of you have difficulty (partly lack of maturity, partly your actual age) to distinguish between concerns, sans any negative hue, just.. concerns, and doomsday preaching/trolling.
Rather than your worrying about my role in this ( andmy role in this is clear, i support, i pledged and continue to upgrade my pledge ), perhaps you need start thinking about when if ever you get to behave as thinking, rational individuals.
You are so used to this duality of 'fanboy' / 'hater' that you are by now incapable to even converse properly. Can you comprehend the idiocy of your stance or need i also explain its consequences? On an everyday scale, forget anything more important..
Wake up
edit: the person most of you call a Pantheon fanboy, Dullahan, has shown himself, and multiple times at that, as perfectly capable of having a proper conversation. You on the other hand, the """objective""", """smart""", """impartial""" forum posters behave as mentioned above. If the above cannot help you reach a conclusion, perhaps this comparison will. You have every right to have the mental capacity of a snail; you have no right to expect others to possess it as well.

I have been reading Aenra's posts probably more than most because I read them on the official website as well. From what I can tell he/she is a very nice individual, a very intelligent person who really questions things - and that is good. If He/she is thinking about these concerns, others are as well and it is a great stepping stone to conversation. Not all out war. This way concerns can be allayed or brought to the attention of the dev team. This will make for a better gaming experience for everyone. Aenra brings up some valid concerns and its ok to discuss them - honestly that is all we can do with Pantheon at this point anyways. Aenra shows a lot of respect for others in his/her posts, it would be great to see more respect all around.
