Its pop.. but its pretty good and catchy. Listen to it now before you are sick of it in 4 months cuz its on everywhere. The song is supposed to be a reaction after listening to Jay-Zs "Watch the Throne", which makes it cooler imo

I didn't see this post yet, but its an article post in 2009 by the Head AI guy, Dave Mark its an absolute must read and does a good job of taking down the "Trinity" http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/DaveM...ontroversy.php great fucking read and better than a combat doc imo.

Yeah.. That's the trade off with f2p, you can't really pimp out in the nexus collecting inspects. The $$ will come from the cosmetics... At least I think. Not sure where else they can make the cash. I think if they let us know a little more about where they plan on making money with this...

SoE is streaming their presentation on the 21st for GamesCon on twitchTv. They are talking about lots of new info (combat doc?). Would anyone like to post about how much they hate it?

For someone who hates everything they have announced, hates all the people involved and believes it will be a total shitfest... You sure do post a lot about it. I'm not sure where all the anger, rage and cynicism come from, you played EQ for a long time, and enjoyed it more than you didnt...

They said that they MAY choose really excellent pieces of player made architecture to include.. Through contests or whatever.. Not that they wanted players to build all the cities for them. As far as the game and its level of completion.. They probably have all the land generated and a...

I don't see how a book that is telling you to explore a general area in a pretty huge world is JUST LIKE a big fucking exclamation point telling exactly you where to go and exactly what to do. Sounds to me like they are just trying to put people with common interests in the same area.

There is no starting city... At least when the server first opens. At some point there will be multiple cities. The entire premise of the game is you are returning to a continent laid waste and the originality of the game is that it is making you actively rebuild it and then maintain it...

So yeah.. Heres a couple of ideas from reading the tea leaves on how storybricks and changing environments could interplay within the game. Im thinking we will see something pretty similar to this: Halas has been built but has been pretty quiet for a while. Devs decide to drop a little...

I think you are reading it wrong. Rallying Cries have tiers to them according to the task. The higher the tier, the more difficult the task. Each tier completion doesn't unlock a new tier, rather they all occur simultaneously. Dropping newbies in a RC is EXACTLY what you want...

From what I can gather and they seem to be saying.. Day one, servers open, everyone starts in same place... 1 year later there may be 4 or 5 starting cities.. Edit; Omg.. The stupid at reddit makes my teeth hurt. Some dumbass started a thread asking for a class that dual wields shields...

Well.. So far we know from the stories the spells are compulsion, decay, lightining, and raise dead. I miss any?

Yep. They have one. You get increased resource regen, about 48 certs a day, and access to a few cosmetic items in the station. They have about 4 tiers of this. Think the final one is auraxium at like 15/mo. Nothing in it p2w though. Stock guns are pretty much the top. And you can buy...

The dragon kills the Mage then flies north, he even tells the prince his city has been destroyed. So the endings of the books are in reverse order to how they occur, although, the dragon was probably going through the portal as the Mage was getting his necro on.

Reading the thread from the RP forum where the author of the novella posted, it seems he really doesn't even start working with the SOE team until the 23rd.... So there is ALOT of lore to be written, and from what he says he has a pretty wide latitude in designing what SOE will consider canon...

Yeah.. Not sure it can be an EQ without a PoH.

Speaking of Reddit, interesting post with SOE reply. SoE Reply

Ogre Magi theme?

3rd page.. No Juggalos. Fail.

I did it.. but real men ran Qeynos <------- Freeport. Q to F is Commie shit. And I did it with a wizard.. none of that SoW BS.

I don't see the RCs being "content" per se... I imagine them being layers, chained together in a branches. A server can complete, lets say, the Halas RC chain over several months and in the doing so, enable the city + surrounding dungeons... but not much progress has been made to south...

Im assuming there are chains of Rallying Calls, each one leading a divergent path creating unique servers. At least, that's what they seem to be promising.

I think its the same reason why being around naked people for a while quickly becomes blas?. Its our minds filling in the blanks that makes things interesting... why is staring at a corner in PoH more exciting than an instance where you can see everything? Fuck if I know.. Brains are weird.

And it must have been extra horrible what with that guy holding that gun to your head as you played. Something kept us playing. We dwell on the negative stuff, but there was a great deal of good things in there, otherwise we wouldn't have played it. I see a great deal of effort in not only...

To some extent, isnt the way they are designing the game making class irrelevant anyway? I start off as a Warrior, but collect 10 classes which are stronger on caster side, and I like playing, so I play a DPS caster most of the time, placing my skill points and improving weapons and gear for...

Heh. This quote made me think.. What a cool way to run a server. What if they basically gave the players a foothold on day 1, and the rest of the continent was wild and unsettled. There are no cities, no places to bind, no safe areas besides the beach head. A fantasy D-Day, played out...

What motivation would a mob have to stay in a 45 min fight? Cornered rat, yep.. But wouldn't a good AI require a reason for a mob to stay there other than someone hit a taunt button?

No dev in his or her right mind should ever post here. It's a no win situation. Read here? Yep, if they want unvarnished truth from people with a lot experience and know their shit.. But post? Fuck no

What would an organic "enrage timer" look like? I don't think you can do an environmental one (lava filling, ect) outside of an instance.. And we know insta kill mode kinda sucks... And only leads to Zerg dps attacks in open world. ( not that there is much wrong with that). Obviously the...

As far as combat.. Bad = 5 people doing the same thing. Good = mobs acting/reacting with a number of abilities/behaviors that no class or combo can deal with

Why should we be the intended audience if you were hoping for eq3? We all left that game... Remember? (Well most of us)

Music?

Is there a starting city when server opens? Isn't the lore suggesting people are just coming back after Ring of Scale booted their asses out I'm kinda hoping that's the case... "You want a city? Build it, and then defend it" On alts: I'm a fan of 1 character per server. Be responsible...

I think the old model of "Boss fight is easy, lead up to it is hard" is the way to go. Would anyone disagree that Temple of Veeshan is one of the best dungeons of all time? Vulak was simple as fuck, getting to him.. not so much. That should be the standard template for raids... Otherwise...

I imagine the instructions to dancers in the opening number of the Oscars or some shit, and those raid directions for that WoW boss probably sound amazingly similar.

Just a random thought to add... Looking at the cross section of the world showing the tiers, it seems the thickness of the layers is fairly significant... like, mining a hole to the next level might cost you a pretty significant chunk of time. Hopefully they also have a system where you...

Great, Great points. Now, can that model be expanded is the big question. In Planetside 2 you have 2 types of outfits.. the big, big zerg outfits that can roll armor and swarm a base with 2+ platoons. But then you have the small, elite outfits... on my server, Das Anfall...

I don't remember EQ being really hard raid wise. Shheeeeeeettt. the Vymmn(sp) fight in ToV was supposed to be the hardest? What did he do? throwback? Just find the right wall to have your tanks against and have your clerics time the CHs from around the corner iirc. Groups could be...

I don't even really care about 1 v 20 boss type fights.. Heres where I imagine the AI to behave. Mobs assess threat constantly.. Froglok sees skinny dude, decides to chase, turns corner, sees 4 more dudes, turns and runs for help. He will use all his ability to get away and wont be...

Good Reddit discussion on trinity. http://www.reddit.com/r/EQNext/comme...y_tactics_101/ Made me think, controllable encounters makes trinity doable... What if in Eq Next that simply doesn't exist. There is no pulling static spawning mobs. Imagine what a fight might look like if it was...
