  • Adamantine said: Star Citizen has amazingly good funding, actually. You can check out videos of people playing the game and its fairly complete. Just a PITA to play (you get nothing explained). But its looking great. For Pantheon, well, fu…
  • Darksworm said: There will be no oxygen in the room by the time this thing launches, with titles like D4, OW2, PoE2, etc. on the horizon. Most people aren't single genre players, these days. Few people have ever played a single genre outsid…
  • The most relevant and informative parts of that video regarding mastery, were literally clips of Joppa explaining the details. As always, Bazgrim did a great job assembling those conversations, but ultimately the explanation was straight from the de…
  • I can't see how anyone could be against a dedicated system for giving you stories that isn't mandatory and doesn't interfere with quest or adventure systems. It's completely separate for those who want it, as opposed to the normal way which is to mi…
  • Stuff like that will really set Pantheon apart, but I also fear it will set them back. I hope they have or are acquiring the talent necessary to build that out for the entire game. The forest is also looking excellent. They are really pushing th…

  • dcutbi001 said: I played the open weekend for backers back in April and I had a fairly strong dislike for the "drop your bag" system of being "knocked unconscious" (they don't call it death). In some ways the bag recovery system mimics the corps…
  • Didn't watch that SoL video yet, but there are other ways to do corpse runs without stripping the player of all their gear. I don't feel like this needs to be a mandatory feature, as long as death is punishing enough that players respect the environ…
  • Maybe its just me, but I dont think its hard to understand how and why these games differ in development and transparency. One game is has chosen a much simpler design. The other seems to be increasingly elaborate. Not a knock against either, just …
  • I remember a few years ago when Delete would post a new excited Pantheon thread like every day, even if he didn't have anything coherent to say. I guess things change, just not the lack of coherence.
  • delete5230 said: Here's the big picture.  Here is dealing with the here and now.  Pantheon and Saga of Lucimia. Stormhaven studios HAS A GAME.  Anyone can play it ! Visionary Realms refuses to acknowledge progress, let alone a game.  …

  • I was sad to see that video on Crowfall. I really hoped things would be in a better place this long after the initial testing phase. As to how much of Pantheon has been revealed, I'd say most of it. Stuff is constantly updated and looks bett…
  • There will be no instancing in Pantheon except when necessary for story or quest content. Again, Visionary Realms does not plan to utilize instancing as it is currently being implemented to overcome population issues or to circumvent the competitiv…
  • Your comments are starting to come off a little disingenuous. If you have a question about a specific system, ask about it. If you narrow your query or stick to a theme, you are more likely to get the answers to your questions. The truth is, many t…
  • Graphics of EQ2 look nothing like that of Pantheon. Art is subjective, but texture resolutions are not. Animations still WIP but have made big improvements in the last year.
  • Sovrath said: Dullahan said: I've discussed the issues I felt most responsible ad naseum here over the years. Very briefly, it was the the lack of risk versus reward. It was the fact that death had little to no consequence. The wor…
