Perhaps this is a sign that MMO players might not learn the first time, or the second time, or the third time, but somewhere around the eighteenth or nineteenth time, they won't fall for the same pitch anymore.

Maybe the things you call shields are just really large elbow guards.

Hi-res textures on low poly models is like a multi-lane freeway right into the uncanny valley. Also, what is up with those uprights on the fence? Why is there LoD clipping so close to the camera?

I'm willing to overlook some pretty shitty graphics if the game is fun.
This game won't be fun.

I'd be willing to bet a few bucks on the game not being even made let alone on being fun. While the double-shield thing is a relatively minor thing in some "alpha-footage" it's still a screenshot they deliberately decided to share instead of some tester pointing out something to fixed.

I can't believe it's really stuck at 3 patrons and 17$. I am tempted to send him 1$ to see if it moves and have confirmation that there's literally only 3 people left in the world even remotely interested (for 5$ each) in his game.

That video looks horrendous. Firstly why is there no 'hide UI' toggle for the godcam mode? Secondly there are trees blowing in the wind at 1:10. Except that the leaves are blowing like sails, the entire foliage is apparently one mesh attached to the top of the trunk and it's blowing like a flag. Thirdly, ahaha I'm not going to waste 10 minutes and 37 seconds of my life watching the rest of that shit.

The combat at ~2 minutes in is hilariously bad.
Sure, we all love some fantasy landscape flybys, but this is stupid.

Haha, hey, of course it is SUPER bad. But I had no other way to make you watch it. You've been Bradrolled.

I would have watched if you said "haha, look at how bad this video is." Well, I would have watched the first two minutes, which is what I did anyway.

Looks like the trees I got from one of the Unity asset store "medieval fantasy" packs. Breaks in the same manner too, when there's too much wind :P I think it's related to incorrectly setup UVs on the trees, or something. Not that it's relevant for this thread, but... ;P

I mean, I'm just as likely to lol about this game as anyone else but the videos aren't as bad as everyone seems to make them out to be. Yeah they are pretty bad for a fully released game but for a team working with no money/all volunteers with a retard at the helm, it isn't actually that bad.
There's still plenty to laugh at about this whole thing but trees blowing in the wind incorrectly, no hide UI option, etc... for a game in the early stages isn't really that bad. At least they have combat which is a lot farther along then I thought they'd get to.

I'm surprised they're not just posting some old Vanguard pre-alpha videos that Brad found on his hard drive.

The whole thing looks like Unity assets thrown together. I can forgive bad graphics if the game is good, but the game appears to be "generic MMO - the game."

Notice the revolutionary dual-wielding of shields. This would certainly be a masterpiece if it ever made it to release
I think one of them is strapped to his back an there seems to be a blade coming from where his right hand would be. But think about how awesome a troll in PvP a guy covered in enchanted shields dual wielding magic spiked shields would be. Like a shield covering the shield that's covering the front of his plate breastplate, all of them enchanted to resist different damage types. Running around taking almost no damage, punching people to death 2d6 a blow.

I started playing the f2p last year when bored, soon levelling up from 59 (quit in 2001) to 72 whilst exploring n stuff over 3 months, and then they let you level up to 85 with full AA and a complete set of armour and weps for free but havent really bothered with it until last night, when i explored the plane of water and tried to solo raid the water god octopus thing.

Are you fucking kidding me?But EverQuest creator Brad McQuaid and his team didn’t give up. And today, they’re announcing they have raised a seed round to fund development of the title.
The new seed funding will help the Carlsbad, Calif.-based company take a big step forward in developing its fantasy role-playing MMO, said McQuaid, chief creative officer at Visionary Realms in an interview with GamesBeat at the Gaming Insiders event last week.
Well... looking good, eh?

new seed funding from a private angel investor Who the fuck is dumb enough to give Brad McQuaid money? Also EverQuest, launched in 1999, had a team of 23 people. It took three years and $8 million to complete.
Pantheon won’t have a budget that big. Good work quoting the budget for a game that entered development almost 20 years ago as it that was in anyway relevant.

Considering that 8 million in 1996 equals to about 14 million in 2015 for (general) skilled labor cost and you want to do it even cheaper than in 1996.... source

It's amazing that someone went "Hey look almost every other MMO made by a big name got funded in the millions, and here's a game by a well known developer that barely got half of his $800k ask. I think this will be a worthwhile investment"

Data:
Less than $8 million.
Funding a guy who has had a success based on timing and a catass flop.
A vision for another catassery adventure, but with less oversight.
Sudden infusion of cash from unknown source who thought this was a good investment because they have little, if any, business acumen. i.e. "New Money"
Conclusion:
It's some dipshit EQ fanboi who won the lottery and decided they wanted in. Mark my words.
