Fluffle Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) 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 OrderI 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?" Silver, Obsidian Order's Grey Eminence@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 CipherHmm 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 EntertainmentQuick 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.

Malcador Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 You people are strange. Although I suppose the forum has been without drama as a whole. 1 Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabain Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Send dlux a PM or post in the Obsidian Order thread. It doesn't really need its own thread. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
