Guys, this live stream was AWESOME. This answered SO many questions for me. I am already paying monthly and am going to pledge after seeing this.
THIS was was what I needed to see before parting with my money. Loved everything i saw. (would like to see More mobs closer to the city even if its spiders, bats and snakes. )
Great Job so far and I am looking forward to playing. Thank you guys for showing this. I really can't thank you guys enough. So I will throw lots more money at you over the next several months.
If i were a female, I would be throwing my panties up on the stage right now ;p
Well i dont want everyone to hate me but i have to say after watching you guys............ That yes i loved everything ive seen from the game play stand point except for one thing. The cleric was still your basic stand there and do nothing but conserve my mana and only heal or do anything except when needed. Sorry for this but **** that. Why cant he be throwing a hit in here or thre to regen a few mana points or trying to proc a rare buff for grp............? Anything is better than being an extra member in group to stand around and hit one button at the time when it is needed. Sorry if this sounds rude wasnt my intentions ive been drinking at a friends party all night. I just had to post something on it after watching the twitch feed it s been bugging me. I just cat for the life of me figure out how the cleric is looking like your basic eq cleric after the vanguard cleric. Now im not saying copy the vanguard cleric by any means. Pantheon is its own game but if you are goning to take that much for EQ at least borrow some of the better parts from VG too........................... PLZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like what i see! Tho i do hope that when beta is released the mobs dont keep aggro when you die and hunt you down at the respawn location.
Although i am somewhat disappointed in the colored mana system just empowering spells and abilities, i had thought that the original idea from the roundtable was super solid.
oh and Backstab needs looked into... tho i am sure Kilsin was having fun single shotting orcs!
PS. Did anyone else watching in fullscreen view find themselves pointing the mouse at things and clicking absentmindedly? I did.

Watching the stream now, so impressed. This is EQ! Looks sooo good. Game world looks fantastic.
I suspect you will be seeing a great deal of interest after today.
Great job Visionary Realms!
Please VR stay away from Daybreak!!!!! Do not take any money from them!!! JS
There's not much left to say that hasn't already been said many times, but I'll say it again anyway : )
The Twitch stream was awesome. It really gave me a lot of hope and even more to look forward to.
I don't know if this has been brought up before, but do you guys have a plan on how often you want to do these Twitch streams? Like once a month, or every two months, etc?
Also, it would be nice to see more non-combat related things as well, like maybe just having someone run across a zone showing some more points of interest, or showing off some character skills and what they do... things like that.
Love the stream guys great job! :) Great to see the game getting the recognition it deserves.

I think I'm in love with your rogue...
Haha, she is pretty nice! :)
Oh yeah and I forgot to add earlier, seeing that the mobs had no visual way of telling you how strong they are, other than /considering them and getting the red 'scowls ready to attack' or the white 'regards you indifferently, looks like en even fight', etc... text messages - made me very happy also!

I don't really see why this is desirable. What is so special about having to take an extra 2 seconds to right click on a mob? Please give us colored targeting rings, or con colors in names.
Yep really awesome to see some live play, I am sure everyone wishes they could be in there playing / testing as well. LOVED some of the familiar spell sounds. I could not hear any ambient sounds on the stream video if there were any. There definitely needs to be differentiation between player titles and mob titles, I really enjoyed the way original EQ did that back in the day with colored con titles. Con circles would be excellent and a logical choice for when a mob is targeted, this would match the con titles like in EQ1. Certainly adds to the sense of danger when you see a bunch of Red conned mobs around you!!
Next time I would love to see the same thing, however this time, the party runs off and enters into a dungeon for a nice dungeon crawl!! Great stuff, we are super excited on the progress...
THis was awesome, thank you for showing so much :) I am so excited for alpha...
I have one question though, maybe I missed it, I saw the offensive target, but not the defensive one, although the wizard had Kilsin targeted for some time. Is this based on class whether or not you have a defensive target indicator or is it not in yet?

I prefer a little mystery when encountering a mob - I feel things like the numbered level of the mob being shown, or how many hp it has in it's bar, or an indicator that it is 'elite', or a certain number of dots indicating it's strength....things like this, I feel are kind of 'cheap'. The target ring being colored to what it /cons to you would be cool. Still would need to /con it to see how it considers YOU though - it tells me more than if it's just aggro or not, it tells me how much or how little it likes me on teh faction scale.

This is pre pre alpha...not done yet by a long shot. WORK IN PROGRESS. That's what we are here for, suggestions, and upcoming testing whenever that is. Takes time to make a quality game. That's what they're doing. :)
Ya i Know CanadianaXegony and sorry about that as i mentioned i was pretty hammered LOL. I know VR will do a great job either way and make an outstanding game. Thats why ive been here since the begining. But ty for calling me on my bullshit LOL ) I just enjoyed the VG style cleric so much more than i did the EQ.... and yes i played both for years. Believe me when i say i dont want a Vanguard copy cleric and i dont want a EQ copy cleric. I really want a new unique pantheon cleric .

Beta tested Vanguard too, was last phase testing for EQ before it launched. Loved the psionicist, and the bloodmage in Vanguard. Wizzie was my character class for all of the time I spent in EQ. Beta, March 1999 and on through to 2002. Went off and played and tested other games, loved SWG's crafting system, AND Vanguard's. Tested Warhammer, LOTRO, Rift and a few others before that, my first testing was Meridian 59. Died a lot, they weren't kind to newbies. hehe And just call me Cana :)
