Prime Battle for Dominus from PitchBlack games

[Paelos]

Crafting looks wonderful.

I'm a crafting whore. What's jumping out at you? I'm intrigued.

[Segoris]

Paelos - experimentation is a big one (though that will be obsolete with the internet being the internet), the best items in game are craft and (almost) all items have a durability creating a good market to be a crafter in. Exchanging of schematics can be done by either experimenting, having someone tell you the mats, acquiring the final product and reverse engineering it, or by having a rogue-type character steal it from an enemy crafter. Also, some schematics are limited by the progress of your faction in war and the best materials are fought over (and can be looted from corpses of players if they have some on them). The skill of a crafter determines the strength of stats on an item (there is a max crafting level so all will be equal eventually though).

Things like that, imo, are making this a solid and fun craft system.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to say goodbye, or at least goodbye for now. We simply cannot deliver the game you deserve with the resources we have. We never quit trying, even when hope faded, because you - our community - kept us inspired.

There is a market for a game like this one. Thank you for proving it. I hope to see you again.

This forum is being switched to read-only, effective immediately. I have permission to keep the Facebook page open long enough for goodbyes, and I will hang out there (as a volunteer, not an employee) for a few days.

I am so sorry, y'all. I've been intentionally quiet, but I was hoping to get loud again. I will miss you all, and I know we'll meet again.

Part of me was thinking "Hmm, Hero Engine." when I read that.

[Furiously]

Surprised they didn't do a kickstarter.

[UnSub]

Oh, and this thread started so well too.

[Scold]

Oh, and this thread started so well too.

You forced me to start reading Page 1. That was a mistake.

(Thanks for fighting the good fight, though.)

[UnSub]

Reading back through the thread made me realise:

1) Dominus has Sanya as their Community Manager; and
2) She violated her own "no goodbye threads" policy.  

Kickstarter is probably being considered (or has been) but someone has probably written down on a piece of paper how much they think they need to finish the game and I'm guessing it exceeds what they realistically could get.

[Mrbloodworth]

Allays sad when an idea never comes to light. Only trumped when an idea does not deliver.

Hope everyone lands on the feet.

Read: GW2 is delivering three faction RvR faster and better than we could.

Although, from the few tests I was able to participate in, they had an interesting setting and some good ideas. A pity that it didn't pan out.

[NiX]

I didn't read the last page and signed up for the beta. Weird that you can still do that.

[UnSub]

Sanya on why they probably can't Kickstart this project.
