The state of the game.
Right now rough but it somewhat what I expected for a small game company with limited resources. Having played a buggy Horizons I think PFO is a little further along in bug squishing for me then that game was when it went live.
The direction of the game.
The game seems to be slowly improving along the lines of two step forward one step back type of advancement.The game is fairly close to what I expected when I heard of a mvp.
What you feel are positives and negatives of the game.
The positives of the game is it potential and the great community that seems to be following it. The negatives to me are the bug, the learning curve and some of the interface like auction house I have difficulty dealing with. The escalations that over run every hex. The escalation see to be PFO version of the rifts in Rift at first a great draw but within a few months no one bothered with them except to try to avoid them.
How you feel about the process of Alpha to EE .
I backed the kick starter for really two major reasons one Joey asked for it for his Christmas birthday gift and two it had a TON of pdf physical rewards that would be very useful in our Pathfinder game and society play sessions.
Suggestions for the game.
I think they are many very good suggestion floating around these boards.
Time lines for what you feel should be added.
I not very knowledgeable along such lines so I leave it to smarter heads them mine to come up with.
Anything pressing about the game that you feel needs to be addressed. In a single word BUGS! But then I am sure you know that.
What you feel is MVP.
A game that allows me to gather refine and craft items that other folk have the need to buy. The means that pvp need to be in, player looting, need to be in, and war of towers need to be in and working. Expendables would be nice but not a make or break for mvp.
What you feel isn't MVP.
Some thing I like but can deal without if not in right away like chat text sizing, additional races, expendables like arrow and wand charges bags etc.
Basically anything pertaining to the game.
I am not interested in all those other games that will make up this games competition. Joey and I have place our money on this horse and we are willing to give it as long as it need to to get where we need to go. We are here for the duration no matter what happens.
