i tend to like my Kickstarter tiers to be exclusive. if i could have waited to get the knight/immortal then why would i back 2 years ago when there was nothing to show for it? why would i assume the game could be vaporware when many other software/games have done just that via Kickstarter.

to refute that, i did like what Camelot Unchained did. they opened the remaining KS tiers ONLY for those that were original KS backers. this allowed someone to upgrade. They also opened up the lifetime sub tier for 300$ (which bit my friend in STO but that's another rant).

we have a cosmetic store. and it's pretty empty. cosmetic only of course: add armor, weapons, mount armor, spell colors, etc with some concept art attached. put an expected release date for that content: IE before release, or first content patch after release, etc.

is the dynamite gold a great pre-release value or is it the same as it will ever be. will there be sales on DynaGold or the cosmetics? you could add seasonal/holiday cosmetics too (that fit within the lore of course). release it, after a month (or whatever) pull it till next year.

i assume it'll be sent via email and kickstarter update.

i'm pretty worried about that "old Kickstarter packs" option on the survey. That's something i'd much prefer to see never come back. make a new version, decrease the value then release it.

@Xzoviac

there was 2 parts to my reply. some are standalone.

i dont see the game being released without an auto-run key.

i'd love to see navy's but more as an expansion than as a funding goal. i'd much prefer to get the out to the public then work on getting new content than to try to rush a bunch of content before release.

@VyrVandalous

i still think 1k is too big. i'm all for guild perks and/or knowledge to expand starting cap.

@RoxRocks

i'd believe there are more gamers younger than 50 than over 50. now the over 50 should have more money to spend.

you can try to convince them that wasd is the way to go, i've even posted that link or similar but they refuse. they want click to move. that's their stance, just like isometric view is.

@Farlander brings up a good point. at some point a guild requires better management tools. is DS willing to create them to support large guilds?

i'd prefer to have 100 max and let mega-guilds just create more sister guilds.

i dont want a planet to have 1 guild so that friendly fire doesn't work on them during an invasion. imagine demons joining a guild during an invasion!!

alpha is the stage of development where things are missing.
beta is the stage of fine tuning all mechanics.

there are plenty of mechanics that still need to be added to the game. from the little i read of your post, you'll want to wait till beta or some type of 'just before release' open beta.

@Xzoviac

i dont play those games, except d3. so i wont discuss them. i have no first hand experience so trying to argue them is bad.

wait. i played Istaria when it was called Horizons. i just looked at the wiki and i dont see any new content being produced. last i knew it was a small companies hobby so they had no reason to release content regularly. last i logged on, like 2 years ago, nothing had changed from the time i did back in early 00's.

@Xzoviac
D2 isn't maintained. no new dlc, new content has been made either.

D3 then.... plenty of online games with out cash shops -_-

Vendetta Online - the PC version has a sub and no cash shop.

Istaria - no cash shop

Neocron - totally free game, no cash shop

Istaria. - just sells mugs and things.

ESO cash shop but Only cosmetics though like fractured

sometimes i think you just argue for the sake of it @Jetah

...

and d3 isn't maintained either. the last content patch was with Kanai's cube. the seasons are trash. the game is under maintenance.

@Razvan

design decision

right. the game is isometric. it wont have any other camera angles, it wont be first person, it wont be 3rd person. it wont rotate (ive asked about this one). it's a design decision to maintain the isometric camera spot.

D2 isn't maintained. no new dlc, new content has been made either.

@tulukaruk said in Angel? Angel Spells?:

I for one like the idea that you have to work hard to get Angel / Abomination and dislike the "i want now! give me!" You want the special race? Work for it!

i agree, however, there are groups that want to play together but want to start/end as a certain race.
a group of 3, if 1 wanted to be a redeemed demon turned angel the 2 would have to wait. if 1 wants to be human, then they could join faster but they'd still be waiting on the 3rd. whether the demon gives up or rerolls is another situation.

i also wouldn't mind a way for a demon to turn but not have access to becoming an angel. if that were possible and they could start closer to neutral then i'd be ok with it. (although I know people would pick it and complain they couldn't get the angel form.)

I'd suggest to have another free week when beast or demons are available. then another when all 3 are available.

@Razvan

everything is 3d but they dont have to finish the whole object. they only have to finish 3 sides plus the top. literally just the back side doesn't have to be finished, which isn't much. if they decide to rotate any object then they may want to complete the whole thing.

@RoyalX said in B2P vs F2P:

why do the dev took the b2p option and make the game low population when they can make the same amount of money or more by going f2p and make the game feel more alive ,i played the free alpha and i saw only 1 person all game ..

b2p is less likely to have bots, (because banned accounts have to be re-bought)
there's no proof that buying a box means less bots. it's more about the popularity and those willing to spend the cash on easily accessible farmable goods than a box that has to be bought.

wow has bots, it has a sub and a box/expansion cost.

b2p is less likely 2 have toxic players, (because banned accounts have to be re-bought)
that doesn't deter people either. although it's much easier for a person to create a free account to be as toxic as they want without the main account taking action.

f2p needs to have a f2p cash shop meaning they will need way more cosmetics, and possibly even the dreaded p2w, to support the game
every online game has a cash shop. that's just how they're designed.

even f2p games tend to be b2p during development

I personally would rather have a low population of good honest players, then a huge population of self entitled f2players that want everything for free, and whine when someone who spending money and supporting the game is stronger then them.

f2p breeds toxicity and i personally hope DS can sustain a B2P model permanently

no game in the last 5 years has opened as a subscription and maintained it. FF:ARR was the last but it's been over 5 years. I know this doesn't actually rebut your statement but just want to point out that most online games have swapped to a b2p+sub or went f2p.
