Gold subs for EQN?Never!Probably.

There are a few 'sub-class' types - they said you will need rogue before you can get assassin. Otherwise, no difference between starting classes and other classes. If you start as a warrior, you can later on get the rogue class through the game or one of the other 38 classes. So you could...

Yeah there could be no 'Wizard' class - just a bunch of different wizard archetypes like the Tempest. So totally possible no 'cleric' or 'wizard' in starting group because they don't actually exist as separate classes in the game. @BigFlex interesting and they never gave a specific example of...

I always preferred the Kojani starting area. I'm debating whether to start a new toon - I'm just trying to get a feel for when the EQN beta is going to start. Rumours are that FnF is soon. If it looks like early 2014. I'd be up for something in VG. And yes I wish they hadn't nerfed the...

@kaid - absolutely. Fuck me for forgetting Player Studio. @Ayeshala - Rezz said it better. "Rascal-riding mmo players" @Rezz I honestly think combat will initially be a blast. Who doesn't want to kill a mob by blasting a hole in the ground as he's running to you and forcing him to die by...

I'm pretty sure Torrid and I are on opposite sides of the aisle here, yet I completely agree with him - beyond just the unconstitutionality of using the AUMF to bomb 16-year old kids in Yemen. And yes, I'm well aware Bush started the campaign and is just as responsible, but the fact that Bush...

With respect to EQN. If they're doing the skilled combat they're going to have to allow zergs. Bellringer is absolutely spot on. The PS2 crowd was younger, but the EQ crowd: I'll just say I didn't see a line-up of carts for any of the PS2 panels. I so wish I'd taken that picture of the...

I think 99% unlikely that you can buy classes - a lot of other things - but not classes: They will sell: -Housing (including Guild) templates. -Cosmetics (different weapon & mount graphics) They might sell: -Mounts -"XP" pots (remember you do get XP from doing RC/Quests - it's just...

Earthquakes aren't happening every 5 minutes. They gave an example of just one happening during a 24 hour example. They also said all regeneration (Earthquakes and Voxel mesh healing) is population dependent (more people faster healing) and they would tune it during beta. Excellent post that I...

Just going off of DCUO's combat. But you're right, no statement. We'll see, I am certainly very interested in beta-ing this game.

Would read again.

This is where I disagree with you: EQN actually has some interesting mechanics, slow travel, dungeons and raids (as well as rare loot). It doesn't have campable spawns or true dark above ground (thought it does below ground). There's some really good new ideas in EQN - or, if you prefer, not...

I actually think SB can pull off a smart combat AI but that raises more questions than it answers: 1. Can the hardcore playerbase actually handle responding to this smart AI? Probably 2. Can the casual playerbase handle this? Look at how many people die on Beg/Int bots in LOL. I'm guessing...

That's why the first six months will be fun. There will be advantage to single classing. You'll get your guy to tier 5 before the people trying to level multiple classes. But at some point you need to start branching.

Nope. Asked this specifically at SOELive. Response: Game Design is for people to multiclass. If you give advantage to single classers you blow up the whole design.

That's the hope right? SOE knows that EQ/EQ2 are old - there's only so much longer they can go on before they have to ship EQ3. But all that said, I am very sure I and anybody who gives it a shot - including etchazz and qwerty if they give it a shot - will have an enjoyable 3 to 6 months in...

Nah. It'll be popular for a while. But unfortunately, I'm one of the crew that will end up abandoning it in six months and hope there's a new TLP server or large group of rerolled that want to play on EQMac. Fundamentally, I agree with etchazz and Convo I can't see the same character...

I'll buy that skin if EQN is decent but I'd rather SOE let us kickstart EQ3.

FTFY That is the problem. Hopefully they determine that making EQ3 with EQN assets is cheap enough that they can make pretty good money from that 250.

EQN chick better.

So FFVII? From the EQHammer interview

All the POIs change as well with an earthquake, so yes you'd have to dig down and discover what new crap is down there. So I guess I'm not getting the issue.

Well tank classes are certainly going to be able to slot CC class abilities. So I'd go with already in the game. However, maybe the best CC abilities are tied to CC weapons so those would not be slotable.

If you don't have someone with heavy armor who can't take the big hits you won't be able to take on 1/2 the mobs. Ditto if you don't have someone able to heal, CC. DPS will only get you so far. But yes you're going to get a lot more Ping-Pong. I just think it was an unnecessary change -...

You know my preference, I'd prefer EQ/VG combat. Tank will have to CC to hold the mob.

There is no taunt. So this is true and also complete BS at the same time.

Not how that works.

Nope. it'll assess healing threat as well.

And clarification, I used the word "threat" specifically. As I understand the combat AI (which is not much) you no longer generate aggo, but instead the AI does constant threat assessment. So to hold the mob you need to generate "threat"

Read that. Oceans aren't in game yet. They haven't conquered the physics of giant voxelated liquids yet.

Beast was cool. The Prince he turned into was not.

It was retarded. You can be a healer but you need defensive skills (e.g. like the ice wall in the video) because you can't predict when tank is going to lose threat (see how I did that) and the mob will target you.

That's the whole point that I wish SOE would clarify. Trinity exists, but because of multiclassing ultimately everyone should be able to take on multiple roles. So you're not tied down if your regular tank doesn't show up. @Lyrical most sandboxy/eq1 part of the game. You need to talk to...

There's a lot of quests, dungeons and raids in game or planned. But no quest hubs. You have to talk to people and do things to get quests.

Got me. I read it both ways - Super Slice, 3 different ways (as you suggest) or a total set of 8 weapon abilities divided up between the three, so each has 2 unique and 2 common abilities.

You see the opportunities for cosmetics immediately right?

They said this at SOELive. It just resets with an earthquake every so often. @Quaid. Tiering up does not give you abilities. Finiding abilities out "in the wild" is one of the things you need to do to tier up. @Lenas. I get the AA aspect - I'm accumulating AA I can spend it anyway I...

Side note for discussion since most abilities and gear have to be quested its not like we can switch from Aragorn to Gandalf from the get go. It may take a long long time to maximize classes. I am only planning on 6 months in eqn in that time I might have one tier 5 a few tiers 2-4 and a bunch...

Don't ask questions that you don't want to know the answers to.
