I wouldn't worry to much. Vanguard was leaps and bounds above EQ when it came to class design and incorporating modern mechanics while keeping the ol' school feel to it.

Starting to get close to crunch time and this thing is barely creeping along. Were not even at 50% yet. Not looking good.

Whats the general consensus over having a "Isle of Dawn" or starting newbie zone? I used to be opposed to it but now I'm not so sure. You do your first five levels or so in the zone, learn the basics, see how the game works then when you ding level "x", you get transported to your starting city...

The dumb point I was making was acknowledging Dumar's point of view and trying to expand on it. I can see why he has concern over a LFG tool. Just trying to step outside the box and see things from a different perspective. I do the same thing with your posts, or UT's or hell, for awhile I was...

So typical of Sony. The game is almost over but they still want a sub fee.

I love how people pick one sentence out of 4 paragraphs then choose to quote that. Feel free to ignore the rest of my conversation where I stated I was fine with the LFG tool either way.

Haha actually my wife has said the same thing. Suddenly, Ogok, the bad ass Ogre warrior is now just Jeff, the accountant. Complete immersion killer.

This is actually true. If you get in to a guild, doesn't even have to be a raiding guild, pretty much any guild will provide the opportunity for endless groups. Raiding guilds are considerably more organized and easier to advance, but grouping shouldn't be an issue after level 20 or so (going by...

To be fair, I started out stating I wasn't opposed to it. I don't care if its in or not. I just don't think it is necessary. I won't need it.

I see a pattern emerging here. No one actually needs the LFG tool it would appear.

So you didn't even need the LFG tool. (also note you were a cleric). Imagine that. A cleric who didn't have a problem finding groups? That can't be!!! SHOCKING!@

This is so simple, really it is. The reason these games fail is because they institute game mechanics that encourage players to speed through the content on the easiest path possible and when you hit the end in a couple months, there is no other reason to continue to play. Your not invested in...

I don't understand the people in this thread who are constantly telling us how we need to institute all these newer tools and mechanics that current games have and how they streamline gameplay and how great they are when every other company who is using these same tools and mechanics is a...

Your looking at using tunnel vision. I was quite specific about it being a catalyst for more tools that make gameplay easier and more streamlined. It starts with a LFG tool here, then helpful map markers you can use to pinpoint locations, then easy to find quest NPC's, and so on and so on...

Its a really tough call here but I have to agree with Dumar. As convenient and painless this is, when you start introducing tools into the game such as this LFG tool, what is happening here? Your reducing the direct communication involved in the process of finding a group. Its all packed nice...

Yea that boogie interview was gold. Boogie nailed the interview and Brad seemed very relaxed. I wanted them to keep talking for another hour.

Its called research bro! RESEARCH!

The spires only took 15 minutes. You had a choice.

Your basically saying,"Why should each class have abilities that make them unique? It only benefits them". Uhhhhh, if it hasn't been explained by now I have no idea how to make it more clear.

Show me a game that has found that delicate balance. Does one exist? There is no balance. Ohh wait. This just came up a while ago. Here ya go: Its not really that difficult. Your trying your best to make is complicated, but its quite simple.

Ok so we should take some abilities from each class, but not all right? Where do you draw the line? I mean, what if I can't find a chanty for group? Don't you think I should be able to have some sort of mez for myself so my group is notforcedto find a chanty? Its a blurry line and your not doing...

So all classes should be able to do all things. That is actually what you are saying. That classes should not be interdependent on each other because it limits their usefulness. So lets take porting away from druids and wizards. Lets take KEI away from chantys. Lets take healing away from...

So caster classes have their own crack or KEI? Then what do we need you for?

I can't believe there is so many fuckers lobbying hard to take away the mechanics that made druids and wizards unique. FUCK YOU GUYS! Seriously. You don't see my asking to have KEI stones for sale at the vendor or CH clickies or SOW potions(although yes, they did exist) or pets who could tank...

Every single time I would port even if no donation was offered. There was a thing calledreputation. You lived or died on your server by your reputation. You act like a jerk or a greedy fuck, word got around, quick.

Just...no. Ok, in that vein, why can I not sit in POK and get donations for KEI? Its just a button push right? Except I'm not a chanty. Or why can't I get money for casting temperance? Ohh that's right, because I'm not a cleric. Each class has stuff they can and cannot do. You make a choice when...

Yea, trolling.

I always wanted track. I think its BS I never was able to get track on my wizzy. So I should be able to track....ohh and SOW to. A couple heals spells would be nice. Ohh and I want to wear plate armor to. Thanks!

That's the first time I've ever heardwizard-envy. You obviously didn't play original Everquest.

Haha +1. God forbid they should force you to talk to someone for some help in game. But hey, all is not lost LFG. EQN gives you the ability to mix and match any combination of classes, spells, and abilities no matter what you roll. So you could be a tank/wizzy/rogue/shaman/cleric! No group...

And keep in mind, players will find a way. I spend a good month and a half in KC. I didn't port home every night, I camped out in front of KC so when I logged in the next day all I had to do was zone in. This whining that dungeons are to far away is ridiculous. Some nights if I wanted to switch...

I'm fine with the spires in original EQ. If your playing at 2 in the morning, yea, gonna be tough to find a port. The location of the spires also insured you were still required to travel by foot or horse to get to your destination but it allowed you to continue playing. A LFG tool is fine...

So make sure you can skip all the content, port directly to a spire, then run 10ft to the zone entrance? If that's the case, then fuck it, just put instances inside a city. Since were putting the game on easy mode, sit in city, then run 10ft to an instance. That way you never have to actually...

He's closing in on the halfway point of his second term. His 6th year correct? Is is safe to say he's not the "new driver" anymore? "Blame Bush" got old during his 3rd year in office.

The thinking from the people I am talking to over on the OVF is,"ehhh, its 2017? I guess I'll look at it then". Just to far away for most people it seems.

Can this thing trickle all the way to $800,000? Unlikely. I was hoping for a bigger bump after the boogie interview. It didn't budge.

Pretty much like the entire kickstarter. The only movement is all of us moving our pledges around. When we are all satisfied, the uptick stops.

Was he? Sorry, thinking bout someone else. Gimmie a break man, that was what......7 years ago? haha

lol
