On December 14th, we will be holding our monthly Q&A with our fearless leader, Chris "Joppa" Perkins. Please feel free to post your questions regarding Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen here or on our official Discord with the tag #QADec.
Thank you, everyone, and see you on the 14th!
Despite some misunderstanding within the community, the 24 hour access for alpha-level pledges does not represent alpha testing it represents a temporary access to pre-alpha in order to provide more transparency and give more people a better idea of where development stands. Does VR still intend actual alpha testing to be held only after the game is in relatively close to final form, as was stated a few years ago? Does VR expect that alpha testing will begin in 2024?
Question #1:
With respect to the Patch notes here:
https://www.pantheonmmo.com/newsletter/_2023/november/
What was meant by the entry:
" Improvements to the backend persist architecture. " ?
In particular, what improvements were made to what is presumably being referred to here (backend persis[tent] architecture?), such as your (presumed?) database, persistence layer, or anything unrelated to the client, login server, nor any other kind of server in between the client and persistence layers of your architecture?
Put another way, if you're actually referring to the architecture of your persistence layer, and your persistence layer in this context is your canonical database, what improvements were made?
Question #2:
Is it currently a public design goal for launch that out-of-combat regeneration of all player resource pools (such as health, mana and endurance) will be a percentage based regeneration per tick or a fixed value regeneration per tick?
Specifically, for example, that a player would regenerate 3% health every 6 seconds, or 3 health every 6 seconds, while sitting, out of combat?
And please note that for question 2, I'm not interested in the actual number, or even the target time for recovery, but simply whether or not the public design goal is a percentage or fixed value.
Question #3:
As a follow-on to Question 2, will player ROLES (or classes) that buff out of combat regeneration of resource pools (such as health, mana and endurance) add a percentage or fixed value to the regeneration-per-tick values?
For example, if a shaman or druid adds health regeneration, does it add 3% health every 6 seconds, or 3 health every 6 seconds, and similarly, for Mana, would an Enchanter add 3% mana regen every 6 seconds, or 3 mana regen every 6 seconds, while sitting, out of combat?
1. Since 247 was (at least partially) aiming to garner more funding; has there been any thoughts or plans to bring back the merch-store? I still need to get my Pantheon hoodie, since Therek won't sell me his.
2. Are racial passives currently in game? How does CP feel about their current balance? Are there still plans for racial actives?
3. Any updates on the pet system and when that is anticipated to be added?
