Directed gameplay. They want you to have a set of quests to do in a set order instead of looking around for them. No going off the rails.

If I were a planetside 2 player, I'd be pissed I don't have a fully destructible world. Also, I hadn't even thought of the influence of crafting on combat in EQN. Build a duck blind on the mountains and snipe? Ranger ftw?

I just hate the changes to the start game. I liked the racial starting zones /mourn. I'll probably pick this or eqmac up again as something to do until EQN beta finally shows up.

The trinity will evolve naturally if the AI is any good (as Ukerric posted way, way back). My issue is the smaller things like the enchanter Grumpus mentions. We'll see, as I've said from the reveal, I'm going to invest a few months in EQN at release - there's a lot of moving parts and like...

Heh. I realized today that the lore was designed specifically so we'd help them build the continent ;-) Players: 0 Jeff Butler: 1.

I think buffs have to blow up if you switch classes. Too cheezy to have everyone switch to druid spec, sow themselves, then switch out to normal spec.

This is where the destructible environment makes it so not GW2. As for relying on each other: if you and I are duoing, one of us better have a tank spec and the other a heal spec. The main difference is there is no taunt, so tank specs are going to have make sure they have a high-damage move...

Sure.

You're pulling a qwerty in this thread buddy. Every comment is negative, even about stuff that's actually interesting (e.g. the Cube World video). The girl mage looks fine and will look better when she's in your face on your monitor. Way better than EQ2 or EQ1. I've got no problem with the...

Don't get retarded.

Got me. Again, I think uniqueness is important. People want to feel like special and unique snowflakes. It'll be interesting to see how EQN can do this. But, back to Cube World demo, it'll be fun for a while no matter what.

No. Bard speed will probably be a weapon skill. So you'll have to stay as a bard. SoW on the other hand should be a character ability. On the third hand, if switching classes drops buffs then it's all good.

I don't know about travel (by all accounts it is slow) but from the devs have said you can't change your base class mid-combat (good) but outside combat it is pretty quick (bad - for the reasons @Lost Ranger stated). They've also said there is some kind of loadout/inventory setup so presumably...

I'm serious. She announced a couple of times (not in that panel) that she did EQ1. With respect to looking for other art - nothing wrong with that. I just assumed she googled up castle pictures or wtf for inspiration. Nothing wrong with that. I'm not happy with the Troll/Ogre direction though.

@Convo Last comment on EQN classes. My big issue is not the lack of the trinity (because that should emerge) but the lack of interdependence at the highest level. When everyone can cast SOW on themselves, something gets lost. The unique classes of EQN disappear. That's why I want EQ3...

Yeah that was funny when Bruman posted the no connection to the franchise bit. OTOH, I agree about the fat Ogres. There needs to be at least one cute but ugly races. Think Manatees, the Shrek franchise, Barfolomew from SpaceBalls. Etc.

Except for the no trinity part. Cube world has healers (mages), tanks and pure dps and is adding cc. That's the whole freaking point.

There are static dungeons and static raids in the game. As well as authored quests where the basic quest is the same (get relic at bottom of mine) but they mechanics change due to the dynamic AI. However some/many/most of the authored quest may require some/a lot of roleplaying. E.g. getting...

Amazingly, the fighter tanks the mob and the dps ranger stays back. Who could have imagined -_- Also looks fun!

Ukerric already laid it out. You've got 40 classes but at the end of the day you're going to build out a.... Tank, Healer, DPS or Support class from your selection of class & abilities. Whether they will be effective at Tier 5 will depend on what items, skills and classes you've gotten...

That's a problem with the crafting system in most MMOs - where previous tiers of resources are pretty much useless at the current or higher crafting tier. I think levels work. I think there's been games with too many levels (60 to start for WoW? Really?). VG would have been a better game if...

Re: levels Zehn, myself, Grave and a couple of others theorycrafted pretty much the exact EQN item/skill progression system years ago on the old 38Studios thread on fohguild. At the end, IIRC Zehn was in favor and I was opposed (Can't remember what Grave or anyone else preferred - RIP...

I want to beta EQN with you Sir. You've got the right attitude.

Why the Jimmies buddy?

I'm telling you SOE is well aware that EQN isn't going to suck a ton of their players from EQ1/2. They also know that EQ1/2 are both long in the tooth. You do the math.

No goes to comments I made earlier. Convo tweeted him So maybe we can get a "If you build it, we will come" from SOE. But to all those people who think Brad should be the Creative Director or a Producer on EQ3? Are you fucking crazy? Lead Designer, maybe. Just maybe. But nothing beyond...

Go see the Brad tweet. EQ3 is coming... Just after EQN/L, EQN, EQN/Moba.

Nowhere. I'm way in the back near the only free plug in that room.

That's cool. So from the picture: It seems like they can divide the tiers so: Tier 5 top: Tier5b:tier5c:tier5d raid? Or other silly combinations - but basically I don't see why not at the tier5 bottom level? If you're at a tier 4/tier5 on the surface seems like you've got to get...

Oh yeah. Aradune tweeted too. https://twitter.com/Aradune

Fedor:

Every freaking time the words 'fun factor' were used at SOE Live and elsewhere (as in this video) I want to pull my eyes out. I know they felt they had to come up with some other word than "Vision" because of McQuaid but couldn't they have come up with something better than 'fun factor'?

I told the dude: wait until you play in the beta against the combat AI before going nuts. I'd prefer EQ/VG combat myself but if the AI works out as designed almost everyone will enjoy this game for a while (me) and some people a long while (other people).

Fanmade Hentai with EQNext chick incoming on 4chan in 3.. 2..

Kingdom of Default!!!!

UI with painting tools. You can see the UI with character/weapons abilities on Butler's screen ->

They already showed off the glide boots so flight seems likely but the islands are all T3 or above, so going to take a while to get there.

I'm batting .675 how are the other guys doing?

Nah. Butler knows what he wants and that's what is getting made. Roundtable is smoke and mirrors to get players invested as mulligan said.

Yes they need some kind of in world pvp. Even on non pvp servers
