Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen [released?]

[nilzark]

Has it been released, yet? How many more years? Did YOU pledge? LoL!

[Jibartik]

It's now a minigame in Starcitizen.

[Homesteaded]

Pledged $250 back when I was a under accumulator of wealth.

[Chortles Snortles]

(lol)

Heh!

[nilzark]

Probably never will release because their devs are too busy poopsocking P99.

[starkind]

They should have just modded classic wow into everquest!

[Jibartik]

That would actually be rad

I guess that’s kind of like what that guys Warcraft three Mod is

[Ooloo]

I remember years ago on the p99 forums somewhere somebody was making like a high-rez 3d render of the entirety of antonica, if all the zones were connected and contiguous.

It was just a pet project or something but it looked really cool and I always wondered if they finished it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

[starkind]

Look in screenshots. It's still in therr. Didn't look for any updates tho.

Well I found jib's project from 2020 which is actually really cool too cause it uses real EQ assets. Checking that out right now

The thing I'm remembering was some guy who was modeling it in like.. maya or some fancy software like that for making like film CG and stuff. I'm guessing he just never finished it, I think he just had like the commonlands and oasis\ro finished from what I remember.

[Ooloo]

Reminds me of when I was 14 and made a quake 2 deathmatch map of a dungeon from ultima online (first 2 levels of Deceit specifically), complete with textures that I macguyvered out of the game using print-screen and then had to skew to make work in quake cause UO had an isometric top down perspective. God I wish I still had that backed up somewhere..

Anyway, I'm a huge nerd.

[starkind]

That's so badass Ooloo!

+1 for pantheon. Alpha pledge since 2018 I think? I'll definitely be playing. Hopefully later this year they push it to Alpha. Waiting to see character models in game before deciding on race but leaning towards human warrior with the 2% haste, shield expertise, and increased faction gain.

[Trexller]

well they lost Brad, so now what they'll ship to customers is Luclin.

[Mblake1981]

World of Luclin

think it will last longer than New World?

[Nocht]

They can take all the time they need to release it I'll still play when it comes out. Releasing too early is usually a death sentence for a mmorpg.

8 years is a very long time for game development, even for MMO's.

[GinnasP99]

Thanks for all the fish

[Trexller]

8 years is a very long time for game development, even for MMO's.

after CDPR's decade of hype over cyberpunk and then their subsequent middle finger to the world on launch day...

let's let pantheon take centuries if necessary

[Shawk]

they should have just stuck with this design, they have changed the assets like 10 times now and it actually looks worse 7-8 years later..

in reality they are just doing the same scam camelot unchained (mark jacobs) is doing and eqnext/eqlandmark did.

basically the same shit as a self proclaimed conservative/capitalist who needs a mug club of socialism to support their bullshit podcasts.

now they depend on salesmen/cohhcarnage selling investors bullshit grand ideas which are all possible today but they are too shit lazy to actually do it or they think "you think you do" kind of thing so they are just dragging people along by a carrot.

they always have to make their own game engine lol.. i can't believe i funded this shit or camelot unchained or eqnext/landmark.

[Tunabros]

it's gonna fail 100 percent

people now a days wont understand it

[Shawk]

it's gonna fail 100 percent

people now a days wont understand it

I don't think it would fail for that reason, more it already has failed for that reason, they care too much about the 80% of people who would trash the shit out of it.. cohh being their biggest fan is exactly who they should ignore, they are ignorant to game design etc, even the hard core fans would just trash it because servers would be garbage probably,they would need brass balls and to just keep going forward to bring back that dream but brad is gone so its kind of gg

[Jibartik]

can we play it? is it out? I dont even understand.

[Tunabros]

no

[nilzark]

Looking at the latest newsletter, they still don't even have banking, swimming, climbing, and faction nailed down. WOW

[Jibartik]

Those are all the things lol

[Shawk]

Networking, the only part they should have been doing for 7 years is starting?

Swimming is buoyancy which is automatic in engines now basically a boolean being changed to true then replicating that to server would be part of networking..? Funny they mention Z axis like that.. All of it needs replication then? Locomotion isn't replicated? Odd scam.

[Duik]

"Pledge Now" button at the very top.
It's aTrollocaust.

Gameplay Gameplay Gameplay.

I swear all these new developers feel the need to soak us with graphics and textures until we drown in them.

There’s a reason people still play 10 to 20 year old games, and it’s not because of graphics. It’s gameplay. Team Fortress 2 is a great example of this - it’s a game that has otherwise pretty simple graphics, but the balance and gameplay have kept millions playing even after 10+ years. Minecraft is another example, totally garbage graphics, but people sink so much time into the game.

Pantheon is making the same mistake that New World has made, spend trillions on textures and graphic artists, and put a nominal amount of effort into actual balance and gameplay.

A slightly more re-tooled EQ (more quests, a way better crafting system), would blow most of these modern games out of the water. Even p99 is better for a lot of things. I loved playing monk and duo’ing with a shaman in XP levels camping raster

Lore and other things like that, even something simple like duo class pairs, many of these new games can’t recreate
