    I just disagree here. Without that atrocious launch with tons of buggy content, VG would have succeeded. It sold a ton of boxes but box sales don't keep players. Polished, finished content does. VG still has better fleshed out classes, dungeons etc than 90% of the MMOs out today. So yes, a...

    Did you not read the interview? Have you not followed all the changes they've made? This is the polar opposite to what you're complaining about. The head of this game is down to earth and they are taking feedback in spades.

    Say what you want about console games but EQOA was the shit. It could have been better with more ram and textures but it was fun as hell. Controller>WASD any day of the week for movement. I'm excited to see if they make an EQOA2 on the PS4 or of they just make EQ next dual platform. You guys are...

    http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/02...d-mobile-apps/ Looks like limited PVP, chocobo as companions in combat, and a new class. The Arcanist is a buffing/debuffing/CC class with pet summoning abilities.

    I have sli 570s and if the game was using only 1 then I'm fine. The engine was smooth on the alpha servers any my framerates were consistently 40-60 at all times even with a lot of people on screen and spell effects.

    I totally agree on raid and progression mobs being instanced. But having a world big enough where guilds cant lock down contested mobs...is that even possible? I'd like to think it could be. I know these games aren't real life or anything but even with cars and such, travel still takes some...

    Those specs wont impress PC gamers, but games optimized for consoles will make some of our PC games look bad. If they can squeeze decent graphics out of systems like the 360/PS3 with 512 mb or Ram and weak GPUs, what can they do with modern hardware, with custom CPUs and GPUs and fast memory...

    If they do all that at 399.99 its a wrap and they're back to PS1 status in the industry.

    I get that travel can be tedious. But if the game is designed as a huge, open world sandbox type game, how do you prevent the power guilds from locking down all the content if they can just warp all over the world? What is your alternative?

    I'm usually a Nintendo fan, but I'm impressed. The graphics are far better then what the previous gen allowed. The specs are gonna make pc ports easier and not as dumbed down. All in all, I'm pre-ordering this.

    To be clear, I am not attacking you or calling you entitled. I am saying the mentality that the game needs to cater to you (in a general sense) is an entitlement mentality. I am not one of those that clamor for the older days. Like I've stated, I didn't even play EQ1 much. I dont find things...

    Maybe because modern games have you spoiled thinking its all about you? Sometimes, you have to look up and realize that the world (real or in-game) doesnt revolve around you and being conveinent for you. You're making supertouch's point. This entitled gamer mentality the WoW created has to...

    Fast travel in a big, open, non-instanced world will only lead to one thing. 1-2 guilds with the highest playtime having every mob worth killing on lockdown. That is reason enough alone to slow down travel and make it meaningful. I dont care how good your game is, if the average gamer is...

    The penalty comes from killing a player of your own faction. PVP against other factions is full loot FFA AFAIK.

    I'm fairly certain the next EQ game won't be on PS3 at this point but PS4 is almost a given. It is much closer to a PC if the specs are to be believed.
