Hype rising... is it real??

I still think voxels are the future. There is a lot of potential in games where you can build and destroy structures. imagine gating content by preventing players from getting to a new land mass until they build a bridge. Or looting a raid dragons head and hanging it in your virtual home...

That would actually be a really scary looking boss mob; appropriate for an end game instance where you kill a ton of nazi trash mobs to make it to him. Wouldnt be PC, but killing Nazis is always good to go..

Everybody at daybreak is too busy surfing the craiglist jobs section to do any work.

My hope and anticipation for the game have dropped. Losing top programmers hurts. Big delays hurt. I hope they can recover and then bring it. CU has a ton of potential from what Ive seen.

Ahh Rift. The game with the most uninspired character models ever. Tis a shame too, because the graphics and animations are solid. I give it a 7. The grouping options are actually pretty developed.

Good post, an apt analogy.

In the article you link, 2 million units sold, and people were paying 15$ a month at the time. That was 2012. 2013 and 2014 both made over $100 million. The game did not meet expectations for players OR investors, but it is profitable. Im not going to get into a back and forth about SWToR...

Tor made well over 100 million in 2013 and then again in 2014. I hate the game, but the financial numbers are there. I mean, Tor is about to release an expansion. Games that are losing money dont release expansions. Did I mention that I hate SWToR?

I stand by my statement. MMO gamers are very loyal to the genre. Even ill-recieved, and frankly, poorly designed games like SWTOR and ESO are financial successes. For SoE to do so badly considering they were a studio that was once on the frontiers of MMO development shows how terribly the...

SoE really blew it. They had a dev studio with pretty much hands off interference from their benefactors as long as they made MMOs that were fun and made a profit. How did they fail this? MMO fans are not that picky. Throw some fun systems together and release games! Now "Daybreak" seems...

Who's gonna buy the Everquest "franchise" next?

Looks good. Cant wait for beta to start!

There is instanced building, but you can show off what you made in the main hub by grabbing one of the nearby cornerstone hubs. As for the instanced zone you get to build in, you can advertise your it to try to draw visitors. I believe they allow people who visit your instance to flag it as...

"Imagine a game with B&S combat fluidity, Tera's dmg avoidance, TSW's Story/cutscene quality+skill wheel, and GW2's gameworld. Nirvana." ...and Landmark's building.

I get you. I shit on Trove too for being shallow, but the whole package is well crafted and fun nonetheless. edit: I speel guud.

Not true. At any time, you can stop grinding and start building your cornerstone. Ive seen some cool stuff. You also get your own small island that you can make into what ever you want and then invite other players to check out what you have built. The combat levels have a grind, yes, so...

I dont agree that a CEO must always act professional and proper. Look at Mavs owner Mark Cuban. Highly successful despite speaking his mind at all times. It all depends on the individual and the company. I mean, we are talking about games here. The day a professional snobby ass takes the...

The most generic and downright weird MMO to come out in a while. What bayr said id correct, its basically NW, but in a quasi sci-fi setting. Really, the graphics are pretty good, but I was instantly reminded of Destiny when i started playing (not a good thing) in that the game is totally...

Its in part because somewhere along the line, it became the "in"-thing to disrespect Smed as a developer. Now that disrespect has become all out harassment. Its stupid and childish to the extreme.

I love Trove for its mindless fun. The dungeons and world are awesome if you can dont mind the voxel block look. Great game.

I miss my Dwarf paladin. VG had such cool ideas and areas. The Druid starting area was awesome. The world was vast. Each race had their own well-crafted starting area, something that is becoming a relic in modern MMO's. The technical side of the game was obscene, but the craftsmanship was...

The Knight class sounds fun and really powerful. I'm excited to hear about the abilities of the other classes in future updates. "Our goal is for Knights to use their bodies as obstacles on the battlefield, creating a forward line which you have to get around to deal with the squishy...

Star Citizen killer!

There is still sales power in the name Everquest. There is still opportunity to keep to keep the 'franchise' going. The SoE devs really messed up by not having a quality and fun MMO ready to release right now. As I see it, the market is barren and hungry at this moment in time. EQN should...

Im in favor of rock paper scissors (pvp) and very much against class homogenization. That said, a player being able to spec to different roles within on class, a la WoW. is alright by me. I would prefer to not see warriors who can respec into a healing role though. Call me a traditionalist.

A class building system with no respecs is a bad idea, imo. Allowing players to make bad characters is one thing, but to permanently stick them with that under-performing character, most likely their first, seems too harsh on new/casual players. Choice is good! Being able to respec adds...

I cant stand games that blend themes as Sylas mentioned earlier. Its just a pet peeve of mine to see a traditional fantasy warrior with 2 swords in the same game as a modern tuxedo wearing, machine gun toting character. It breaks my immersion and just makes the game word feel inconsistent. It...

The FPS part of the game is the only thing that was holding my interest. I dont think I can get into a space only game. The thought of being able to fly around in space and then land on planets was intriguing.

When we get the tech to have thousands of players in the same general area without any slowdown, that is when MMOs will return to glory. Right now, if too many players congregate in one area, games either slows to a crawl or just crash out. And really, as MMO gamers, we are all looking for...

Oh there is friendly fire? That is truly excellent news! That will help to minimize the "blob" zerg that is a scourge of mass PvP. Of course, no healers helps too. Smaller organized groups may just be able to make a difference. Edit: collision too? //head_explodes

Everquest is an iconic game. One of the pioneering MMO's. That alone makes the EQ franchise great. Just look at the post count in these forums compared to other threads. Its the same on other MMO sites, EQNext created a buzz, which of course has died down now. Also, while EQ2 was crushed...

We need more gameplay footage.

Planetside2 is one of the greats. Huge, awesome battles of infantry, tanks, and air combat. I recommend it to any FPS fan who enjoy multiplayer team-based combat.

Looking good. Got my approval.

Good post. So much truth.

If Fallout online ends up with the same gameplay structure as ESO, Im going to club a baby seal.

I bet the whole "voxels" revolution has not materialized for EQN and that is plauging development.

I was once very excited for this game. How can the great franchise of Everquest be so fucked right now?
