We're getting side-tracked anyway, since we have no knowledge on how potions will work in PE. The central thing is that the concepts of cooldowns and level-scaling has never not sucked in an RPG, in some way or another.

That much is certain.

Guys why not just shoot for one of the 1000 freedumb bucks rewards and be done with it? Just have an NPC in game named Mono Cled who constantly bitches about The Decline Of Western Civilization As We Know It (TM) and leave it at that.

Better idea.
You encounter:
A confused and bumbling band of adventurers named Josh Sawyer, Chris Avellone, Tim Cain, Adam Brennecke and Feargus Urqhart. They immediately cast spells of Illusion, Enchantment and Bullshit and begin speaking rapidly at the pc. PC must make a saving throw and escape or cast their own "Bullshit Reveal" spell. After this each adventurer takes turns casting "Bullshit" before speaking while also making pick-pocket rolls. They will not answer any of the PC's questions so the PC can either make a saving roll to escape or fight. If the pc wins the battle he will find over $2,000,000 loot on their bodies along with a sheet of paper which reads:
Design Document

Hell hath no fury like a TwinkieGorilla scorned.
Meh, didn't heard about the cooldowns before, downgraded from 65 to 25... why MCA, why? I though we had something special...

I await the Damage Control that will probably ensue later (and possibly a better explanation).
Though I can't see any even if they are using cooldowns. Unless they are on say a day like timer. And limited rest.

Except that's not a "cooldown". The D&D system is like a deck of cards you get to pick up at the start of the adventure of the day, and as you play them, they are no longer available. That's not an "8 hour cooldown" ffs. I know your optimism is just being contrary to the codexian contrariness (i.e. an attempt of one-upping), but the definition of a "cooldown" doesn't change just because Obsidian is using it :D
I get the point of you can only pick certain cards form your deck for the day, like the IE/Gold Box games (of which I personally like). But if this uses something like say a Level 4 Mage can only cast Fireball 1x day, Magic Missile 2x day AND there is limited resting, I would not really have a problem with that. Upset? Yes, but not full FULL RAMPAGING RAGE.
Anyways, I await Damage Control™ from Obsidian later.

If there will be damage control, and it will appear that this is miscommunication, I would kick Feargus and that other dev in the ass for causing panic and butthurt. You simply can't do that during a KS period. There are pledges at stake.
Yeah, it will all eventually boil down to a mis-communication then the flip-flop will ensue, as you said. 
Rex will be blushing.

I don't think you understand what flip-flopping means, Matt-san.

I hope you are right.
I hope I am right to. Otherwise.... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU DRAGON TURD WITH GUNZ!
Are you serious? Flip-flopping is reversing your stand on an issue. No one is reversing their stand here - the stand is being against cooldowns. In other words:
Random devs says: There will be cooldowns.
The Codex: I am against cooldowns, so I'm not upping my pledge.
Tim Cain says: There was some miscommunication. There are no cooldowns.
The Codex: Cool, because I am against cooldowns.
Sometimes you are a bit thick, J_C.

But that's Obsidian flip-flopping.
The flip-flopping wasn't referring to the cooldowns. I was using it for the "I hate the game - now I love the game - now I hate it again" attitude the Codex feels.

Sawyer was the one who talked about the game using level scaling? If he was, that it is fliip-flopping. But if just some randon Obsidian dev made a comment, without consulting the lead designer, I wouldn't call it a flip-flopping.
Yeah, J_C was more referring to the people in the other thread that all knee jerked and went OMFG! PLEDGE WITHDRAWN!

I'm not re-pledging until I see a decent reason to. All I think of when I think of this game are the words "vaguely interesting" and then I think about that fucking godawful concept art and even that fades.
Until further notice.

So... basically what you are saying is Fargo does a better job at TRUST US GUISE! IT WILL BE AWESOME! than Obsidian?
Obsidian has a FAR better track record of decent to great cRPG's than IneXile dies...
