RTS?


Pathfinder Online


I'm curious about the direction that this game is heading. I haven't kept up to date over the last few months but as I look around I see a lot of people discussing Kingdoms and Army Formations and NPCs doing all the work for you ( I like being the one gathering the ore, making the sword etc.)

Now I think these things can be great in ways and can really add to the game but my question is this: Are we not slightly forsaking the small group of Adventurers that Pathfinder is all about? The small groups of people reminiscent of PnP games and parties in other MMOs fighting battles on small scales, that is.

Maybe I've just came back looking at the wrong time and am only seeing things this way for a reason. If so, feel free to point me in the right direction as to where I can find out more. I'm just worried that it seems to me the game is becoming more of an RTS than an RPG.

TL:DR - I still want the small scale battles (as well as the large), just me and a Goblin, maybe a few friends and a few more Goblins. Will this still be a massive part of the game?

Absolutely.

There will still be dungeons to explore and small parties going out to quash monster invasions. People have just been more vocal on larger scale things that will be available too.

It's still about individual characters and individual stories and adventures (and small groups), all that larger stuff is pretty much how all those small stories and interactions shape the world.

On the crafting, when you are on site at your resource it will be more productive. When you are at the forge you will be able to produce gear at better than normal quality.

They aren't shorting your crafting, they're improving it. Your NPCs will produce even when you arent there, and your skills will grow over time.

Could call PFO a MMO RTS RPG.
