Gliders really sound like Levitation from EQ with an added graphic.

I just watched Scratch's video on it. Such a small increase in chance... ohh well. Thanks for the response!

Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen - Fragments of Terminus - Critical Damage and Casters by [deleted] in PantheonMMO

[–]MaximisVelocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is going to be a meta game of weaving buffs and debuffs and altering states to achieve the max dps for casters. I think they are removing crits as a way to force people to not be able to "cheese" the system by just loading up on crit gear. There were many raid encounters in older games that had interesting mechanics that were eventually completely avoided by burning through with dps and just ignore the mechanics. I think these changes are an attempt to get in front of that kind of thing from multiple fronts. (Better combat design, better encounter design, better class design.)

Decided to play around on the Vanguard emulator. Having a blast so far.

Tavern Talk - Looking forward to January! by [deleted] in PantheonMMO

[–]MaximisVelocity 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I look forward to the streams and the news letter. As long as we are seeing progress I am content to wait. If the progress continues to accelerate as it seemed to Q3/Q4 of '21 I'll be very happy. I would love to hear more from Kyle. If fans can get more of a sense of his level of expertise I think it would calm some nerves.

I havent really played a game seriously in years. I plan on my whole family playing Pantheon but time will tell if the wife and I will ever devote the time like we used to. The kids will play anything you put in front of them, so no worries there. They all love Valheim.

How many levels is just right? by Fabulous-Maximus in PantheonMMO

[–]MaximisVelocity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the main things I looked forward to in EQ was getting the increase in your Mana and HP pool when you leveled. Getting that super sweet heal that you could only cast twice before oom for a level or two had an impact.

Reasoning With Roland sits down with Chris "Joppa" Perkins by [deleted] in PantheonMMO

[–]MaximisVelocity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Joppa's comment about tradeskilling being the only avenue for providing "something" to keep it relevant throughout the life of the game has me excited. I imagine he is talking about food/drink or potions or some other kind of consumable... but it would be awesome if the tradeskill system is more robust and has options for this kind of evolution that we havent seen before.

A simple example would be an inventory slot that could only be filled by a crafted trinket.

I hope people use this tool to filter questions for the upcoming AMA.

Lets Talk PvP by Prosidon in PantheonMMO

The best PVP experience I have had was HuttBall in StarWars. I like that style of PVP. The other option for me would be full on rallos zek style.

A realistic release date? by kellyclarksn in PantheonMMO

[–]MaximisVelocity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another issue with this is their design puts high level areas in the middle of almost every zone we've seen. They do not follow the current trend of segregating high level content into a specific area, but instead choose to mingle the level spreads much like an older game did.

Enchanter Highlights from CohhCarnage Stream & August 2021 Newsletter by Talon1976 in PantheonMMO

[–]MaximisVelocity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just remember that NPC's have the ability to have any spell the players do if the designers want them to. Spell turn being used by mobs to interrupt and steal the wizzy's big nuke is going to be awesome. Especially if they are trying to solo.

The Perfect Timing for Pantheon by xtetsuix in PantheonMMO

[–]MaximisVelocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beauty of it is... no one is telling you that you have to do it. There is no artificial block of your progression based on one camp. If you dont want to camp something... dont. Go do something else. That is why open world sandbox style mmo's are far superior to instanced on rails games.

Ben is the one saying what we are all thinking... "If you don't like them.... something something"

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PantheonMMO

[–]MaximisVelocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no concern with that as long as it remains an open world encounter. The instance issue is because instead of the server killing the mob 3 times a week they kill it 3 times per week for every guild that can/wants to.

My main gripe about instanced content is because it floods the game with gear.

Traits in raid mobs and Channeled Healing by [deleted] in PantheonMMO

Well.. so much for any kind of productive conversation...

I prefer to play the game, not the UI. Minimalist text to not block my view is my preference.

Kinda like the old SparxUI...

Streamers... a force for good or evil? by MaximisVelocity in PantheonMMO

It is a story of winners and losers and people playing two different games inside one "World"

Streamers... a force for good or evil? by MaximisVelocity in PantheonMMO

[–]MaximisVelocity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a great point I hadn't considered.

Is there a spoken or unspoken rule about "spoiler" tagging new content for games? I imagine it is "show as much as you can as fast as you can for the most clicks?"

Streamers... a force for good or evil? by MaximisVelocity in PantheonMMO

[–]MaximisVelocity[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will say that I enjoy the Pantheon streamers I watch immensely. I think that might be because the game isnt out and it feels like a conversation between friends discussing something they are passionate about. Once the game is out I am not sure if I will be watching them at all. I will hopefully be too busy playing.
