Should AQ3D have another Kickstarter?

Discussion in 'Adventure Quest 3D' started by Snowy, Mar 26, 2018.

  1. After hearing some information going around about AQWorlds possibly getting its own Kickstarter, I was wondering, do you think AQ3D should have a second Kickstarter? Why or why not?

    I'm not totally against a second Kickstarter, but I think with how AQ3D has progressed so far, the game could benefit a lot more than it did back in 2015 since more players have familiarized themselves with the game or have been introduced to it. It would probably be a lot more work for the developers to create some entirely new Kickstarter gear, but I think the game would benefit greatly for maybe about a year.

    Not another official kickstarter, but another fundraising campaign maybe. Not for a LONG time though. I personally won't be playing AQW if it's on mobile only.

    AQ3D isn't even close to adding in everything from their original Kickstarter. They still don't have all of the custom NPCs, pets, more areas, classes, etc.
    I would be fine with seeing a Kickstarter for AQW. However, I have no idea when they will finally be done with the PTR in AQW. It should've been finished a year ago.

    a lot of people shamelessly show off their perks from the first kickstarter and talk about it, and i personally can't stand trying to match them because i can't, they'll always try to use the first kickstarter to make themselves superior materialistically so i have the need to be casual
     
  5. Well the Kickstarter items do have some bragging rights since they're rare, but if there was another Kickstarter, then the items for that Kickstarter would also have bragging rights as well. I don't think they're some kind of "ultimate rewards" that are more important than any other item, but they do show significance in the players supporting the game.

    it's kind of, a person wants to be where they are celebrated not where they are tolerated and since the start i've had a difficult time feeling appreciated for anything and continuing support this way doesn't give me lasting happiness for it

    I'm all for another kickstarter campaign to allow newer players like be to have the same or similar perks that players who noticed the game earlier had.

    Personally I think they should shutdown AQW and force players to either leave or move to AQ3D. A bit harsh but this is if I was running AE, players will have little choice though once flash gets discontinued.

    As far as kickstarters go, nah they need to let AQW die and focus all assets on AQ3D.

    I'd be in favor of another kickstarter for AQ3D but only if everything on the Game Plan list would come true.

    AQW likely needs a kickstarter the most given how behind they are on the server rewrite and flash being discontinued in 2020. They still have a loyal fanbase so leaving them behind wouldn't be a good move for AE

    I think that one way to view kickstarter like events is to view them as game item/feature sales. This does happen in the game right now, but only in terms of DC-item shops.

    In terms of non-item sales, we have:
    • Name/Gender Change
    • Class Unlocking (Guardian/Dragonslayer)
    • Special Area/Shop Access (Guardian/Dragon Guardian)
    • Bank Vault Upgrades
    I think AE could/should also add:
    • Morph/Mount Storage and Storage Upgrades for it
    • Item Collection Storage and Storage Upgrades for it
    • Costume Storage and Storage Upgrades for it
    • Player Housing and Housing Upgrades
    • Pets, Pet Upgrades, Pet Storage and Pet Storage Upgrades
    • Portable Teleportation Stones with dynamic mark and recall functionality
    I'm sure there are many other ideas ... but I think the above is in their game plan and can be monetised ...

    I'm split on this, I would definitely want more exclusive rare items and would be happy to support another kickstarter, but...
    During the first kickstarter it was heavily emphasized that we'd be getting an original aq 2d experience but in 3d and for the fans of the original. With how they'd decided to handle my favourite aspect of any AE game, rares.

    So far, I feel there's been almost no incentive, but this forum has given me that little extra bit to pursue so I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. The recent war flag was also nice, we'll see how things pan out. But a lot of the first kickstarter hype would have to be fulfilled before I'd jump again.

    AQW will be moving to mobile. It might also be on other platforms like Steam.

    AQ3D did have an indirect Kickstarter in from of Moglin Kickstarter. I doubt the possibility that AQ3D gets a new Kickstarter just for it but anything can happen.
     
  18. Moglin Kickstarter just seemed so random to be honest. Felt like it was more to promote the production of Moglin plushes instead of promoting the development of the game... and the fact that it's heavily focused on shipping real-life products to consumers more than anything else. To me, that decision felt like a hindrance to making AQ3D successful since the Kickstarter mainly catered to fans of the game more than new players this time around. Even the timing for a second Kickstarter felt way off; wouldn't it be better to promote the Kickstarter once the game exits Beta testing and gets a ton more players?

    Kickstart already kickstarted game? I don't know man. It's up to AE to decide that if they really want to start another Kickstarter for AQ3D.
     
  20. It should be something done sparingly, and on serious goals. Imagine if every month, they did a Kickstarter campaign; that just wouldn't feel special. But also imagine if they did it for goals that promoted their products more than the development of their video games; then it's even more of a hindrance. I think the determining factor is really player demand, and players have been demanding for another Kickstarter ever since the first one ended, but I don't think some players realize that the first Kickstarter was a hindrance as developers focused on building content for the backers more than for the game itself.
