Dear Dlux,

 

some of us are confused and sad that

you have decided to pull off your pledge.

 

I already stated my mind about this in

our order thread (please check it out).

 

When you come back here on the forum,

I want to make sure you see how people miss you.

 

This is what this thread is for.

People will leave their personal message here for you.

 

 

I repeat what I've posted on the other thread.

 

Backing up KS is a question of faith.

Juding a game based on updates and tidbits is not easy, because

you do not see the whole picture until you have played the game.

 

But more importantly, the features that seem to have appalled you

are still under discussion. Feargus Urquhart himself asked about

the matter with you on KS as you will see in my quotes below.

 

 

No matter what dlux,

thanks again for your effort you have put in the Obsidian Order.

 

 

 

 

Some quotes from the kickstarter comment page:

 

 

Elfwyn 1st Ranger of the Obsidian Order

I do not know much about dlux, other than that he made great contributions to the

PE campaign, and that some of the gameplay concepts as disclosed by Obsidian did not fullfill his expectations.

I for one trust that Obsidian will listen to the community even after the Kickstarter has ended,

and if some gameplay concepts prove to be worse than anticipated, those will be uncovered

and fixed in time for the release. Most of the Beta Testers are recruited from our midst.

 

Rodrigo Roman - Obsidian Order Scholar

@all members Hug. *goes back to the library to write the exploits of the great

dark knight and righteous paladin dlux*

 

LC - Grand Master of the Obsidian Order

@Ohad

We owe him the honour, dont' you think? Together with Farudan he was the heart of the

whole thing. Without him we're only a bunch of people who pledged a little bit more and

have some silly names. I don't mind to say that in public since the Order is a public thing

and I don't think it' a bother for all the newcomers.... :/

 

LC - Grand Master of the Obsidian Order

 

The Order will never be the same without dlux....

"One good member. An extraordinary member. What levy must be paid for such a thing?"

@Ohad

I don't know really. Maybe dlux just lost faith in PE, but I can only speculate.

Dlux put in a lot of work though, that's something

to be grateful for. Everyone has the right to choose which projects they want to back, if any.

 

Tech - Obsidian Order's First Cipher

Hmm maybe one of us in the OO can dedicate a Memorial Stone in dlux's honor.

 

 

Now the quotes from Feargus Urquhart on KS comment page:

 

Obsidian Entertainment

Quick question - I heard something we did made dlux unhappy?

 

Obsidian Entertainment

@Adric The XP for kills thing is still an ongoing discussion here. Our goal is to

make this a game that is reminiscent of the IE games and in my mind that does

mean XP for kills. We just need to balance with other systems.

 

Obsidian Entertainment

@DeDawg I was on the fence about the Stamina / Health thing as well.

My thought on it right now is that it is worth implementing (not a ton of work)

and then we can see how it feels. If it doesn't feel good, then we will change or pull it.

 

 

Dlux, instead of leaving, consider staying here.

Actually your concerns about the things you saw in the updates

can help to improve Project Eternity.

Emotional blackmail. I disapprove.

You people are strange. Although I suppose the forum has been without drama as a whole.

Emotional blackmail. I disapprove.

 

You can see right through my schemes. xD

Why is it so important to please this dude. If he doesn't feel the game is worth backing, then let him leave. Seriously, who cares?

I have been vocal in my dislike for both the stamina system and the objective based xp system however I still have my pledge at the 250 tier because I think even though the system currently announced are not my favourites I think if it works in gameplay I may like it.

 

If it turns out to be a poor system I'm pretty sure Obsidian will know themselves long before they get to showing it to players in a beta and will make adjustments.

 

So I think dlux should just pull his socks up and repledge. Not being around to give feedback on what you think is good or bad is one of the ways the developers find out what people want/like. Not being involved gets you very little in the long run.

Send dlux a PM or post in the Obsidian Order thread. It doesn't really need its own thread.
