Trending levels are continuing to fall, as the amount of swamp poop updates they're putting out continues to rise.  I suppose McQuaid's going to break out the "Miracle Update" here this week?

AND LO, THE MIRACLE UPDATE HAS ARRIVED!

Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen and Shroud of the Avatar Collaborate for Crowdfunding

Good morning, Pantheon fans! We have some great news to share today.

Brad has been talking with Richard 'Lord British' Garriott this week of Shroud of the Avatar and the two of them have been brainstorming ways to support both games. The result? Backers of both games can now claim a cross-game cloak in both Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen and Shroud of the Avatar. To qualify for the special Pantheon/SotA cross-game cloak you must be a Pantheon backer at the Fallen's Special tier or higher and the SotA First Responder (Kickstarter) or Adventurer (post-Kickstarter) pledge tier or higher. You'll then be able to wear the cloaks in both games.

 why so serious?

I really, really, REALLY want to give Lum a hard time, because TOTALLY COINCIDENTALLY he 'liked' this mockery of game design on Facebook today.

But hey, he doesn't set corporate policy and I don't pay for his healthcare.

Now trending towards $600k.

I can't figure out why LB and posse would associate themselves with McQuaid and co. Shroud funded already. McQuaid's game probably won't. What's the upside? A couple of bucks from cross-promotion? With a game that's overwhelmingly likely to never pass initial conception, much less 9 months of gestation? Weird.

We're past the halfway mark as well.  I'm sure Miracle Update #2 and #3 will be forthcoming this week and next.

Does anybody have the metrics on the frequency in which a KS gets funded to full after trending like this?

Net effect of the "miracle" update:
The Trending number has slipped to just under $600k.
The Projection cone has widened, with the upper end breaching the funding line.

If they keep going, even at their current trickle, they'll get their KS money. I want to see what investor they've got waiting to swoop in and fund their actual game development. Because as we've already noted, they're not even going to build a "niche" game for $800k.

The rerolled thread has been arguing recently over the notion that a simple graphical LFG tool would retard community building. I love this game and it doesn't even exist yet  why so serious?

I think I agree with you -- porting out and calling it a night works for me.

Awesome thread... it twisted and turned a bit, but mostly stayed on track.  Great feedback too, thanks.

The distinctions between LFG tools and just flagging yourself LFG in chat and shouting you're looking for a group?  The latter, old school way is a little annoying to others.  I'm not sure why some of you *really* don't want any UI element that lists people near you who are LFG. 

I shall return to the team the next design meeting and argue against dungeon finders.

I really want to see this game built now, just to watch the inevitable implosion a couple of months after launch.

People who are disciples of McQuaid relish the idea of being punched in the dick repeatedly, so that won't change their minds!

The people who are against LFG groups tools would probably like that.

What annoys me about this idiocy is that I'm probably a pretty good customer for a "retro" MMO. I like to group. I like meeting actual human beings. I may not like the auto-teleport to the dungeon, don't talk, ragequit if someone in the group isn't overgeared or lacks an encyclopedic knowledge of the dungeon systems, but I sure want some kind of LFG. Something like what WoW had before the auto-group combined with a global channel.

The only LFG tool discussion that is worth having is whether or not it auto-teleports you to the dungeon. The answer is it depends on the game.  awesome, for real

Auto grouping is the best way to go about things. I even would like to see more social tools added to it like feedback, personal ratings and having the tool prioritize you with people you rated highly yourself, grouped with recently along with people in friends/guilds.

I like my dick not to be punched for the most part thank you.

What I would really like is some way to be super powerful and awesome like a level 50 EQ1 character at initial release with cloak of flames, twin ykeshas, etc, and lording that over the noobs. But I don't want to actually receive the pummeling to my dick and balls required to get there. Nor do I want to pay out a lot of money, to eBay or elsewhere. Ideally there would be a very popular MMO with oldschool difficulty like EQ, and I would have unlimited GM powers to endlessly fuck with thousands of people, consequence-free. Make THAT game.

I duno, but if I wasn't married and Scarlet Johanson came up to me and said I'd blow you if you let me punch you in the dick, I'd probably say yes.

If Scarlett Johansen was making this game, the KS would be a lot closer to funded by now.

Especially if she was offering to punch guys in the dick before making them find a group and camp a once-per-week spawn for a 1% drop.

That might actually work well as a Dungeon Keeper style game, where you lord over your sim MMO masses and fuck with them. Work your way up the MMO company ladder from night shift GM to creative lead. Spawn extra dragons in sim leet guilds' planar raids.

Isn't that kind of what Dungeon Keeper was? Messing with pesky raiding parties of adventurers and ruining their day.

But no, I meant Sim Brad. Without the offline stuff (shudder).
