Wargfoot said: In LOTRO the wargs didn't have clothing at all. I don't think Stars Reach is the game for those kind of significant racial differences (movement/skills/etc), I'd love to see other games pull off the variety LOTRO managed in th…

Brainy said: Yeah this just adds more questions about the PVP aspect of the game. Raph says you dont need to PVP but he wont create a PVE server. What happens when you need a new type of material, you fly to an asteroid or another planet, a…

Brainy said: I dont understand the game loop. So if the game is all about getting resources to build a base. This right here would be the misapprehension. The game is not all about building a base. It's a sandbox. That's one goal …

namcost said: The combat is complete ass. I go to aim at an enemy and it misses because of the weird control scheme for the game (tank mode like older stand up arcade games). And when you change control scheme to aim normally it still doesn't f…

"Ultima Online from Origin Systems where Chris Roberts worked, had technology similar to server meshing where a player couldn't see beyond a line," Uh, you could see across the server boundaries in UO. Still can! And in SWG too, and SWG's bound…

It's not that complicated. If your game is based on defeating a handcrafted set of challenges and getting a handcrafted set of rewards in exchange, then it's going to have this issue. If the challenges and goals can be more self-determined, …

Asm0deus said: Reacher Tier for 30$ (I assume USD) gives you access to the game right so all testing phases and head start and early access etc. I wonder if anyone has pledged for this and if so have they tried the game yet? We won…

Dattelis said: How much was initially backed before KS? Cause 200k doesn't sound like a lot.... Close to $40 million.

I know, I shouldn't lose my patience. It's just, I've answered that exact scenario multiple times on this board.

Sovrath said: So what you’re saying is that it’s possible. At least if one takes what you’re saying at face value. There could be a group that creates a pve planet but then over time people leave and the government becomes more pvp orien…

olepi said: “It is entirely opt-in, players who control a planet will be able to set the PvP rules for that planet”. -- Raph What that means is that if you are on a PvE planet and build up a nice base/town/fort it can all be taken away …

Wargfoot said: Why don't the developers bake in meaningful raids, politics, PvP and such for all characters right out of the gate? Mostly because the content consumption model (meaning, making a game where players move through tiers of content c…

Alas, that pesky honesty thing...
