Speaking of LOL. 50% confidence that soe is also making eqn/moba where you can import your eqn character into an eqn moba. Hopefully this is not only pvp and they put in pvp continent as has been suggested.

I was just thinking of the regenerating dungeons down below. Tiny suggestion seems to be random loot for those guys (pure speculation) and itemized loot for the authored content/RCs. We'll see.

I get a Diablo vibe as well from the pregenerated stuff. Not so much from the SB/RC stuff. Was it Ukerric or Lithose or Lenas who called it EQNdiablolcraft ? I wish I'd quoted that.

You are forgetting the MTG element and focusing too much on Pok?mon. They made it clear that some items you found would completely change your strategic possibilities. Like playing with or without five Moxen and a Lotus in your deck.

That's Darren McPherson/Talisker/Lead Designer. He was drunk at the pool party and four of us ambushed him. I swear Georgeson came over and pulled him away eventually because he was afraid Darren would reveal too much. Definitely the most approachable guy on the EQN team at SOELive.

The purpose of this game is PvE. -Quests (Authored Content) -Progressing Storyline (Rallying Calls) -Exploring regenerating content (Digging into the ground) -Hanging out with NPCs and developing relationships with them (SB Dynamic Content) Collecting classes is one method of advancing...

You can't stop the founding of cities, but you can slow it way down. They even gave the example of a server that simply wasn't progressing. There doesn't appear to be an AQ like auto-advance feature. I'm actually with you and prefer the - we can stop it entirely - but SOE wants its story to...

Exactly the vibe I got with the "Mos Eisley" comment. Founding Halas, Neriak, etc. etc. Neriak could be interesting because the "good guys" will be trying to stop the "bad guys" from founding it (well if SOE is smart and brings back Innoruuk for the DEs).

Did you or anyone in anyway see all of EQN coming? No. Me neither, and if you go back you'll see I predicted 60-70% of EQN and totally missed EQN/L. So clearly SOE is doing things differently with regards to this product.

Yes, they've done more. I don't know about a lot more. Crafting is almost completely done because it's going into EQN/L. I'm sure they're still working on the combat AI because they just hired the StoryBricks guys late last year (Oct/Dec? Not sure). So whatever the hell AI they were working...

I don't like Smedley but I think Butler's just the type of asshole who can get this shit done. I really wish they hadn't round filed EQ3, Butler would have whipped his team mercilessly until it was great. See my comment to Ut 20 pages back.

Because MOBAs and Minecraft are so not what the kids play these days?

I've already posted my guess previously: Oct 2014 to June 2015 +/- 3 months. So basically a window of a year. If you think I'm pulling that out of my ass, that's fine with me.

As was pointed out somewhere else, SOE is pulling a Blizzard. They are taking a bunch other people's ideas and wrapping them up in a nice package for consumers.

I'd say that any info I might or might not have was so up in the air because of the SP cartoon above that I might as well not have any info. But I'm pretty comfortable with saying prior to March 2016. I will add that the example of the "Founding of Halas" Rallying Call should have given you...

They specifically said they wanted to save some reveals for Gamescon, PAX, etc. Marketing wants a constant news stream, I'm sure.

Obligatory.

Your bird lied to you. Smack her a little.

They are revealing stuff at Gamescon and Pax. That's in like two weeks and four weeks. Or whatever.

Yeah if you're going to play this game, you kinda have to play on a PvP server. But I think all servers are going to be RP servers according to the SB boys.

I so regret my neg when I thought you were an alt. I would like to publicly apologize Sir.

Lol. Go type #eqnext into twitter and/or look at some of the non-eq sites out there.

As I said, I'm surprised that the gamers in this crowd are getting blinded by their salty tears.

Yep. Exactly why EQ combat > EQN action-y combat.

I think this would work if players would do it

Once you unlock another base class you can switch to that class and make it your main. Or you can just slot character abilities subject to the base class restrictions. They were clear about this. The only character restrictions they mentioned was the sk or pally but not both.

I have no internal information (sorry Quaid), but EQ1/2 are getting long in the tooth - at some point after EQN releases they have to do EQ3. The question is, is that a year after (well, okay) or longer (fuck).

You will be itemizing just for your monk, so yes, for a while. But at some point, you'll be so well itemized for your monk that you're really going to have to pick up other classes for progression. More to the point, there are some abilities you want to make your monk better that are only...

You can switch your base class. That's what you're limited to you when you're using Warrior as your base class. So no.

For fuck's sake people. I want the hardcore EQ3 they dropped as much as etchazz or Nirgon, so much so that I'm going to fucking WRITE LETTERS to Smed & co. And if I can get some support I'll even make a goddamn FACEBOOK PAGE advocating for EQ3. So while I agree it is "not the game for...

Hours? It'll take months upon months of hardcore play to acquire all the classes and additional months to gear them up so you can usefully swap skills.

Why would they sell classes -> the driving replay factor of the game <- when they could sell houses, potions and etc and make a lot more money.

How are you doing Erronius old chum? You're forgetting that I prefer EQN with EQ/VG classes/combat (i.e. EQ3) which sadly isn't on anybody's horizon. @tower eh we will see, you may be right about landmark being bigger. @spronk

Lol. I had a vision of Sony developing AI that monitors building just to identify dong shaped constructions...

I like how I now get Disney and Minecraft ads on the rerolled banner since the EQNext reveal. Lol.

It'll be huge.

Required.

? I'm stating that any really difficult element of EQN will get nerfed. So even if it was a decent game from the get-go, with difficult AI, that's going to get nerfed when 1,000,000 Timmys discover they can't kill the Void Goliath.

Sadly no info. I wish I had blackmail on Smed but I don't. I just think they have to do it because people are going to start getting more and more pissed and EQ1 and EQ2 are getting more and more ancient. The players of 1/2 aren't going to move to EQN. I still think the best idea was whoever...

Yep. RIP.
