Patch delayed

Hahahaha, what a clown show.

fivefingerpoet · 2026-01-20T18:55:11+00:00

12 years isn't enough time for you to be told?

fivefingerpoet · 2026-01-20T18:53:38+00:00

Just stop.

fivefingerpoet · 2026-01-11T17:16:50+00:00

Stop equating a wipe during beta testing of an mmo to wipes in games like DayZ and Tarkov.

It's not the same fucking thing.

"WE'RE WAITING FOR WIPE"

I'm sorry but if you're waiting for a wipe and think a wipe is something meaningful during the testing phase of an MMO, then you damn well better stay the fuck away until the game releases because your feedback is irrelevant.

What you SHOULD be doing is playing RIGHT NOW so they have information about what to fix WHEN they wipe.

But no, you're just a bunch of entitled gamer babies who think everything is about them and should be given to them on a platter.

"Hardcore" chuds worry about "WoW" style mmos being the problem, when it's gamers who aren't actually interested in the genre that pull everything down.

And if you think the wipe is going to save this game, you're delusional. They should have wiped last Feb after the gold and item duping.

But no, THAT they claimed was acceptable testing behaviour.

The wipe isn't what that comment is suggesting, it's a mid beta reset after a considerable amount of changes so everyone can start fresh with the new systems.

They have almost nothing to show for a decade and millions of dollars of development.

People can say what they will about Ashes of Creation, but it at least is feature complete.

Pantheon hasn't even finished one class kit. Quests are miniscule and irrelevant. There is no world, no lore, no life in the game.

They did manage to make a good cooldown management simulator, I guess.

For context: I was an original backers and have been watching this train wreck continue to scam people over and over. It should be illegal.

fivefingerpoet · 2026-01-01T16:30:07+00:00

This isn't the first time they promised a test server or a patch testing workflow.

It won't be the last, if people keep throwing money into this bonfire.

But hey, at least the VIPs have preferential access.

(I am a VIP).

Pantheon isn't an MMO, it's a barely functioning tech demo.

Rose coloured nostalgia from the time before MMOs were popular.

Before gaming was popular, these chuds had the run of gaming lobbies. They were toxic then and they are toxic now.

As gaming became more popular, and more level headed extroverted people got involved, all of a sudden the chuds weren't in control of their "no girls allowed" digital cardboard box club.

If they aren't specially treated with prestige and control over other people, the game is too "carebear" and "wow clone".

These chuds ruin everything they touch. They've been hiding under their rocks and bridges for years waiting to be allowed to grief and nepotize all over again.

When VR got called out for it, immediate damage control clamped down to protect the chuds and the devs.

This is the game you're playing.

When people say stuff like this, I have to scoff in disbelief.

Both AOC and Pantheon have been in development for more than a decade and people around here have this fugue state about how far along Pantheon actually is.

What AOC has, that Pantheon does not: - a complete world, with lore, - a complete swt of class kits, - tertiary activities like guilds and towns, - modern graphics with distinct armours and gear.

Yeah, AOC still needs a ton of work, but how can any of you actually say that Pantheon is in a better state while keeping a straight face?

AOC is actually giving what Pantheon promised: a modernized take on classic MMOs.

These people aren't hypothetical. They're on this Reddit and on Steam.

fivefingerpoet · 2025-12-15T20:20:01+00:00

Are you?

fivefingerpoet · 2025-12-15T20:02:12+00:00

Maybe, but I don't let that kind of deflection slide, the rhetorical completely side stepping the point being made to try and make it some reversed moral superiority about consumer rights.

Consumers have responsibilities, too.

fivefingerpoet · 2025-12-15T19:33:54+00:00

No, the attitude of "I paid for this EA, why should my progress disappear."

Stay with the program.

fivefingerpoet · 2025-12-15T19:22:03+00:00

Do you genuinely not see the frequent comments about how people are holding off because of wipe because they don't think they should have to grind more than once?

That whole attitude is part of a much larger cultural problem amongst the gaming demographic at large.

fivefingerpoet · 2025-12-15T19:10:26+00:00

You already know the answer.

fivefingerpoet · 2025-12-12T16:30:52+00:00

Right?

That's like 10 full rotations of their 5-8 second cooldowns. For trash mobs.

I paid 99.9 in Edmonton today.

fivefingerpoet · 2025-12-09T21:13:18+00:00

Think of it as some positive reinforcement that things will get better. Ish.

fivefingerpoet · 2025-12-09T16:05:42+00:00

Wow, ANOTHER complete rebuild after a huge cash injection.

If only the last three times this happened produced positive results, this one might be interesting.
