At SOE Live they said class swapping required nothing more than being out of combat to do it; however, at...PAX, I think it was, some guy who attended reported that the devs were now saying they were still trying to figure out how freely they'd let players swap classes. Could be they saw how...

See, now that part I actually liked. Going from EQ2 to GW2, I found it a nice change of pace to be able to actually play with other people, even if I wasn't grouped up with them, and our paths had just happened to cross for a few minutes. And looking back at past games, designing a supposedly...

Butler uses the phrase "queuing up," so I'd assume automated, but they don't technically spell it out.

Latest roundtable video, on grouping. The short version: -there will be a group-finding tool -there probably won't be a raid-finder -they're going GW2-style, where ungrouped players can work together without kill-stealing, and without any sort of encounter-locking mechanic.

Well, it's not like Landmark is a particularly feature-heavy game, I suppose it wouldn't take all that long of an alpha to get the game into a beta-ready state.

As I understand it, you're restricted to humans, but are otherwise able to customize your character. I recall them mentioning that once EQN launches you'll be able to transfer over your Landmark character (well, his appearance) if you want to, so they must have at least some of the human...

On PvP: "it won't be an afterthought. We're going to make PvP matter in an Everquest game, or die trying." Also mentioned that creating and destroying settlements will be a focus of EQN PvP.

Going off one of his other responses, apparently this is going to be one that SWG vets are going to like. Space sandbox MMO, anyone?

If they're all owned by the same person, then the plots can functionally be linked and built across, as long as they're placed next to each other.

Smed really hyping up the Storybricks stuff, "Forget the awesome world you can blow up. This is what's really going to change MMOs forever"

https://www.everquestnext.com/downlo...on-of-fire.pdf Latest e-book. Explains why the dragons are so pissed off at everybody in the previous lore pieces.

The art dev chick did post on Reddit yesterday to reiterate that kerrans were being redesigned. And really, the changes necessary to make them acceptable aren't all that extensive: shorten the snout, make the hair look more like an actual mane, give them a bit of a fur texture, and shrink the...

The body type for row 2, column 3 is my personal preference, maybe give it a touch more bulk if they want it to be a 'large race,' but I like the more average physique and the longer tail.

https://forums.station.sony.com/ever...nkful-for.201/ The forum page for this roundtable; they posted the iksar concepts from the video there, if you want to peruse them.

Yeah, a decent little movie. The fact that the soundtrack included the song Far Away (aka: the Red Dead Redemption Mexico song), also gave it some bonus points with me.

Nope, nothing like here. Now, if it were fat lonelytranniesand ESL basement dwellers, then the similarities would be striking...

The fact they kept emphasizing "day 1 of alpha" when talking about combat not being in place is interesting. Sounds like the game is, at least, launching with combat, maybe even implemented by the end of alpha. Sooner than I was expecting.

As I understood it, it'll be an upkeep using an in-game resource of one form or another, not (station) cash. They mentioned that one of the things that will limit how many claims an individual will have is, simply, that eventually a player won't be able to put in enough hours in the game to...

Game'll be launching with building, exploring, and resource gathering. After launch, they've been talking about adding in combat, pvp, letting players use the AI tools, and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. Basically, as tools are completed for EQN proper, they'll start integrating...

New EQNL dev diary dealing with the construction tools. It's actually a reasonably substantial video, and is even mostly comprised of gameplay footage.

Bah. Double post.

And yet so few of the chimps in the industry do so. So... credit where credit is due.

I'm still waiting for them to announce some dates before I buy, out of some vague sense of principle, but I am definitely going to at least drop $20 for the beta package.

Fact: garlic is a panacea Fact: garlic makes everything more delicious If you were to mix garlic in with meth, would it cure the addiction, or make the desire for the meth stronger?

Yeah, Georgeson has a bit of a d-bag look to him, but it's become increasingly clear that it's just that: a look, and he's actually a decent guy. And certainly, he's the one whose responses to roundtable questions most frequently mirrors my own (and most people's here, frankly), which gives me...

Are you saying... Lumie is Van Helsing?

Well, as I understand it, the dark elves' horns and blue-black skin will probably have something to do with the horned, blue-black dragon that follows them through the portal. But still, like I've said before, I halfway expect that Inny and Cazic will end up being the devils of the Seraph...

Had never heard of Sui Generis before seeing it on that list, but it looks like it has serious potential; definitely going on my "keep an eye on this" list, to see if they can pull off what they're pitching.

Big ticket item was a PS4 along with AC4. In addition, also came out with Arkham Origins, a pile of new shirts and sweaters, and a cookbook. Not bad, all in all.

If they have both at the same time, then it can beFEDOR GAMEPLAY.

So Inny is (the fuck was his name?) Sid, from Toy Story? There's a thought...

Once you saw it, the snowy area looked really weird with absolutely no snow on any of the trees, but I suppose, as art issues go, that one wouldn't be too hard to fix. Other than that, the content of those videos looked good.

Yeah, Witcher 1's story is kinda oddly disjointed; I think at least part of it is a combination of tossing a bunch of side quests at you; with the other part being the main story periodically branching off into, like, three quest lines that all need to be completed to move on, but which can be...

Going by that article I posted on the last page, no, you can't see them. You can see who discovered what planet; if someone does something major, like use up all of a resource on a planet, or drive a species to extinction, that thing will be gone for all players; and apparently if someone dies...

Yeah, she was the crafting dev for a time.

What's odd is that I only recall the "spawning at the rallying cry" thing being reported by one individual out of SOE Live (or was it PAX where that came out? One of those two), although it did have a fair amount of traction after that, so I don't know how accurate that is. I do vaguely...

Article Sounds like this thread might fit better in the Other Games section. It looks like, to use the example used in the article, the game is sort of a Dark Souls-style "single player, but other players can affect your game" thing. Still sounds interesting.

Assuming I'm not wildly misinterpreting what's going on with this, it sounds like what ideally a sci-fi mmoshouldbe: a game where you can freely wander about the surface of a planet, then hop in a space ship and fly toanotherplanet in real time, and where you basically have one big seamless...

Trailers for Witcher 3, Titanfall, Thief, next-gen edition of Tomb Raider, and some other ones I'm blanking on. Announcements of Telltale games in the Borderlands and GoT settings, as well as an interesting indie title called No Man's Sky There was some other stuff, but fuck if I can...

I think they've intimated that they might do more games in the setting, but yeah, this is the last Geralt game.
