The order thing is basically Bioware people. This entire drone attitude about a company that makes things FOR YOUR MONEY is really what made bioware so sustainable. Thankfully they got purged by their own mistakes.

It blows my mind how entitled some people are.. like that one guy who just wanted to show up at Obsidian's headquarters during a live chat. :retarded: Yes you can chime in to Josh/MCA/Adam/Tim about design concepts but if you expect them to bend to their wills, they will get a shattered mess. I should join the boards and do some Codex vigilance to quell the tards a little.

Slowing to a crawl there, i hope their mistake of not giving a stretchgoal doesn't hurt them too much. So much time wasted! :roll:

I'm getting scawed! :baby:

These Obsidian Order fellas are too cute
Waaaaah, those trogs.... we should unleash VoTs on them :lol: They're getting scared that Obsidian is going to do what they want and not listen to the Order... :declining:
Did you read that OP?
He is actually saying "Fuck it, don't use the order as your whining platform you idiot"

Do that, but I warn you that even reading through their shit can damage psyche.

Grab the Codex by the pussy
The Endless Paths are at 12 levels and counting, including PayPal. It's quite possible they'll reach 13 in the final rush. I tend to agree that all funding past $3.5m should be spent on polish, rather than adding yet more stuff to the game... two large cities, a stronghold and a massive dungeon are more than enough to keep the team busy. I also won't mind if they exceed the stated Kickstarter release deadline. Eighteen months seems way too short when they're designing a new IP and building assets from scratch, too.

The idea of fans having more than very general input into how this game ought to be developed is laughable. Obsidian Order? What the fuck is that? Pay up, then fuck off for a few years and let the professionals do their thing.

Knew those Order people would start acting up sooner or later.
I don't understand. They give a whole 8$ and feel that they deserve special treatment? Adding up all the extra money that brought in is still less than a few 1k donors. As long as this bizarre group-think delusion brings in $ with no strings attached, fine. But as soon as people feel that they are owed something significant by giving up starbucks for two days it starts to reek.

Starts at 9-10PM in Europe, depending where you are.

I can't register at the Obsidian forums as for some reason it marks my IP as a possible spammer
I think I can explain that.

I'm Jewish

Damn, their detection methods have become more sophisticated... this will cause trouble for the conspiracy.

I realize "deadline" wasn't an ideal choice of words, but there's need for pedantry. I'm aware that the date isn't set in stone.

You should note however that a goodly chunk of the drone legions will consider April 14, 2014 to not only be set in stone but also inlaid with gold leaf.

It is good that they already have their money. :troll: Fuck them, release the game when it is ready.

They'll put in romances as a 4 million stretch goal. Biodrones go nirvana and pledge even their mortgages money. PE then gets 400k in 1 hour.
Just wait and see:troll:
