Undecaf Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Good call on Ziets. Good writers are always a welcome addition. Yet another 'classes' stretchgoal sounds a bit meh on it's own to me after there being so many already, though, and the new add on's don't intrigue me at all. A good update as they've all been up to now, but not really spectacular - imo.

Savvy30039 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Paladins! Aw, but I've already upped my pledge twice...
Atheria Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 not sure if this has been answered in other topics, but i'm curious. what will hapen to these classes/dungeons/levels...etc if the stretch goals aren't met? i.e. will pallys/chanters (bards) be added in with a future expansion (paid?) I played a bard in my first D&D game, and totally rocked it. I'd love to give it another go. Thanks A work in progress
Madzookeeper Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 loved the update. also love how while the classes are "generic" they have a very different twist on them than what you'd expect. good job. 3 Master Wetboy of the Obsidian Order of Eternity
Bootsy81 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Awesome news about Paladins, I hope we can make it to $2.7 million. Have you seen the reactions around here? We're hitting 2.8 if several forum regulars have to go rob a bank. Yeah, they really should have made Paladins a $50 million stretch goal or something. I'm sure some of the regular commentors would have pulled off an oceans eleven-esque heist of the century to get there. High-Priest of Funk of the Obsidian Order
Lexx Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Maybe we should open up a George fan club or something. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Stephen Laughlin Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 The news about Ziets is wonderful. Good move!
drake heath Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Oooh, I'm liking these goals, I hope we can make it to 2.8. I'm trying to not be cynical about reaching these. Also, I noticed the little lore bits in the Paladin description. "Darcozzi Paladini" and "Fellows of St. Waidwen Martyr". I wonder what kind of civilization they belong to? The first one sounds kinda Italian (as far as my knowledge of Italian goes) and the other sounds quite English. I hope the Thursday update goes into detail about the nations and cultures of the world.
aVENGER Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Wow, great news! This shows that Obsidian really does listen to their fans. Kudos to you guys! 1
anexanhume Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Thanks to whomever gave up their early backer slot. I snuck in and stole one of the freed up ones. edit: Also, anyone ready to speculate on the graphic and the relative locations of the stretch goals? Looks like the picture can't handle more than 3.2M. Edited October 9, 2012 by anexanhume
clunkycheme Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I'm excited about Chanters and Ziets. With Ciphers and Canters I get my two favorite roles and no one should be annoyed by more writing staff. :D
rjshae Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Not quite as excited about the newest classes, but I'm sure it'll make some people giddy with pleasure. I had mixed feelings about Mask of the Betrayer, but it was definitely unique. Sheesh, now I'm almost grumbling (slapping self). "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

Thanks there is a very, very good chance of that considering they normally add skills/etc, not just story and areas. Master Wetboy of the Obsidian Order of Eternity

Thanks Given that they've already announced a post-release expansion, I'm pretty sure unmet stretch goals are likely to end up there.

Malcador Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Should be able to hit the goal - I've already put in as much as I want to, but I figure you lot can make up 200k in a week.

ogrezilla Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 how good must this update be that we aren't even talking about excitement for a promised screenshot on thursday?
drake heath Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) This update is arousing me, is this normal? It only be weird if it wasn't arousing you. Edited October 9, 2012 by drake heath 2
Labadal Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 There was one thing that did disappoint me with this update: George should have been the one announcing what was going to be included in the update.

Enoch Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Yeah, chanters = bards as it seems. Although they seem to be less "tra-la-la lute playing during battle" and more "recitations of ancient epic poems that retain connections to mysterious sources of mystical power." Which is far less lame. I've never been as over-the-moon about MotB as many around here (it just required me to swallow far too much Forgotten Realms cosmology, which I find tough to do while keeping a straight face), but it did have its moments. It'd be nice to see more of what Ziets can accomplish absent the twin anchors of established FR canon and chesse-tastic epic-level D&D rules. Edited October 9, 2012 by Enoch 1
Jasede Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) George Ziets announced at $2.8 million! Awesome news about Paladins, I hope we can make it to $2.7 million. Please report to the booth of shame. Edited October 9, 2012 by Jasede
