Yeah but that was the grand reveal: you read too fast and assumed something it wasn't. But then I remember that EQN was the last thing SOE pitched to us and nobody is going to get overly excited about EQ3. Here's some more EQ1 memory shots. This beautiful sword convinced me to make a paladin

This thread is off to the worst start. I didn't want meaningful conversation I wanted people to think there was EQ3 shots in here. I just pulled the first screenshots from a google image search (OK, maybe a little filtering on the second two). Here was my UI in the beginning except it was paladin.

WoW 2 looks great.

That is way too many stats. My best memories are from when people too lazy to try and comprehend the numbers didn't have to (people like me). DMG: 20 Delay: 30 STR + 3 "THATS DEFINITELY BETTER THAN MY 20/40 WITH NOT STR!"

I think it's a nice reminder of how stupid and pointless and horrible the entire EQN project was.

Let's all post three screenshots of memorable areas from the first EverQuest, limit 3.

The fucking audacity they had to put that dumb asshole on camera told me everything I needed to know about EQN.

Why is everyone so hung up on the grand mystical unknown, lol. It's a failed high to chase that I can only hope game devs don't get tripped up on. I don't think we have to establish that people are going to put every single mystery, exploit, etc. online. It can't exist in today's world in the...

Streamy McFuckface is here for now and forever going forward, unfortunately. And now every dev, including Pantheon devs, want their own Streamy McFuckface because it gets a product into the eyes of so many viewers.

According to Steam reviews we should definitely get hyped and it looks like the MMO savior has finally arrive.

Month after month the same fucking arguments, hahaha. Time freezes on this board. Actually it's probably just this thread.

Technically it would be EQ8 with as many times as the next EQ has been cancelled.

Unintelligentleman

lol Seriously though, I thought this fucker would bomb. They made a decent little pitch though.

Well fuck me then.

Pantheon is Brad's baby and he isn't going to move from the area so it's there or nowhere.

Good luck to them. I predict the Kickstarter fails hard, especially if they put it at anything near what they need to create a pitch for investors, which they'll need money from to complete he project. The Kickstarter craze has passed. It has to be a perfect pitch and crowdfunding an MMO is a...

What this all boils down to is people leading EQN were shit and the game was destined to be shit even if it managed to get a shitty release date. It would have been a disastrous failure with a forced launch because it would have never actually been ready.

Every idea they had and showed us had been done before and their version looked awful (parkour, combat, class system). It's hilarious how huge the EQN leads thought it could be. It doesn't take a game dev or a financial genius to predict Landmark to be a tremendous commercial and critical...

It looked jank as fuck in that initial trailer and in Landmark it was the dumbest thing because it didn't look fluid in any way. Maybe there are cool ways to do it, but there was nothing cool about what we saw of the canned animations.

Reactive mobs are awesome, it gives them life. This guy's twitter timeline is full of awesome GIFs.

I've said the same, which doesn't sound like it makes a lot of sense until you play it. It's solo, of course, but MMO world creators should play BotW and take some fucking notes on how to create a dynamic, engrossing world without fucking voxels. Mystery, danger and exploration; BotW is fucking...

Pantheon bringing devs to the conversation. The magic of these threads never ceases to amaze me.

First parts of the making of BotW:

I always press the wrong damn one. They are so tiny and the icon is microscopic. The PS4 Pro is better because they space them out so far apart, but the buttons still feel like shit.

I think I had 3 360s total, two RRoD and the final one made it through OK. The Switch dock issue is legit. It's a horribly designed hunk of plastic so I've draped a small microfiber cloth that came with my PSVR between the front of the screen and the dock. Before that, I managed to get a small...

Here's my stupid fucking friend code if anyone wants to add me 7105-0370-2154. BotW until MK8 and Splatoon, etc. etc.

Anyone who says creeps instead of mobs is a dumb asshole.

They could have made EQN great if they would have blown it up for the 15th time, been given more money in their exhausted budget, hired an all new management team, took Landmark out back and took a shit on it, etc. etc. They were so unfairly cut off!

Pixelmage gave refunds on Hero's Song with no hassle, right? The Utnayan Prophecy continues on in this project and I'm sure the results will be awful, but at least they gave refunds (assuming they did) on the last bomb.

If this thing tanks due to budget issues, I'll be impressed but in the worst way possible.

Bullshit I don't believe that for one second.

Amazon is making an MMO. I don't if this will be one. With Smedley's ties to the industry and this being the portion of the forum that would likely get the thread title reference, I made it here. All things considered, I just really wanted to make the thread title. I had little else to contribute.

His success stories under the SOE banner are limited to his early years where EQ was the MMO champ. It's been many years since then and based on what I know, SOE has been tanking hard for years and it was something Sony wanted to get rid of a long time ago. His move from DBG to Hero's Song was...

Amazon hires John Smedley to lead new San Diego studio Third time's the charm? Smedley hired by Amazon's San Diego studio. "I think we're seeing the evolution of the MMO into a lot of different forms. I look at Destiny and I think it's an amazing MMO, but it's nothing like WoW. I think we're...

I played it at E3 on GameCube lol, then again in a multiplayer demo on Xbox like a year after. I feel like I liked it but who the fuck knows, maybe I was lying to myself.

Destiny Norrath I bet.

I don't know, Rhode Island probably disagrees.

Convo definitely doesn't hold back on criticizing the team. Love/hate/loathe/other_emotion this project, he definitely should have a spot on the team for the amount of effort he's given. I bet him and the team will be back here in time, 100 percent sure on that.

It's our convo (congrats). I don't think anyone made it fun for him on this board so pretty sure he's permanently escaped to Terminus. Maybe if you chipped in TWO dollars he would return. Soybro.
