Is anyone else here going to be playing an iskar?

How awesome would it be if you could be a shadowknight-bard hybrid?

There's some thematic value to classes. However, I'm not going to criticize the classes until I see the final product. Also, I really hope that art is just depicting the type of loot available in the game. Digging and discovering an executioner's axe would be lame as hell.

way too easy. it's super mario world

You don't need to make her jealous. That's what insecure creeps do. Get to the point and ask her out.

I just wanted to say that a vehicle is the worst thing to buy from a private seller. On a semi-related note: the one time I sold something on craigslist, the guy showed me his concealed gun that he had brought in case of a scam.

Do iskars not exist during this time? None of the races really appeal to me now that dark elves have horns. I think an iskar paladin would be bad ass.

I'm open to the idea of multiclassing but "Why are alts a good thing?" is just off-putting. The guy seemed way too excited about the characters doing parkour in the desert.

Qeynos was probably my least favorite city in EQ and EQ 2. I can't really put my finger on why. It would be cool if we started somewhere on Odus or maybe Innothule swamp.

Are there wood elves and high elves during this period? It would be a shame if not.

yep, florida http://gawker.com/husband-murders-wi...ook-1070464775 http://i.imgur.com/pk6ok7F.jpg

My elf better have a micropenis.

So not getting a pop-up window telling you that humans have poor night vision is bad design? Gotcha.

Things like poor night vision improve the atmosphere of a game. People want to remove every little "annoyance" and make the blandest experiences possible. My god, when soccer mom Sally and baby Billy played EQ they didn't quit because of that bullshit and now we're worried about the opinions of...

During what period was their retention rate 15%? Emulated servers are a poor way to judge a hypothetical EQ successor. Most people accept that the game was past its prime 10 years ago and those that do check the servers out quickly realize the game isn't fun when there are only 300 other players.

And who exactly thought it was too harsh?

Go back to 4chan, dumbass. You're nauseating.

You can't be fucking serious, dude. Your argument is literally "death was aggravating, therefore it was bad design and not useful." If someone doesn't see the positive value in some of that "negative reinforcement" then he's probably not very smart. Hundreds of thousands of people played the...

By your logic, everyone on this forum is terrible at video games.

People were so engrossed by the game that they put up with corpse runs and travel times. Of course they were aggravating at the time but there were also positives to those features.

YEAH MAN BECAUSE MODERN MMOS ARE SO CHALLENGING. EQ players ranged from housewives who had a lot of time on their hands and liked the fantasy aspect to actual gamers who also liked fantasy. But you're totally right. People want EQ-like features because they can't hack it in a heavily...

A dev just told me that bards will use electric guitars.

EQ shared some bedrock elements with other mmos but there were certain nuances to the game that haven't been explored since. Travel in EQ was different from travel in WoW. Death in EQ was different. The social dynamics were different. Just because two games have levels and raids doesn't mean...

Isn't Walt's identity still fairly unknown in the drug world? I'd imagine he would have several enemies knocking on his door if people knew who Heisenberg really was.

EQ was more unforgiving, thus more exciting. Modern mmo raids may be more challenging but it doesn't really add to the overall experience.

A lot of people misuse the term strawman, but this is the definition of it. I don't think anyone here has ever argued that you can't mix "hardcore" and modern features. In fact, I think that's what most are in favor of.

I don't think most people are looking for a true EQ clone or expected EQ Next to be just that. Players are just asking that developers not abandon every fucking thing that makes an mmo worth playing. Developers these days operate at another extreme where everything is convenient and readily...

This game ran flawlessly on an older computer but when I revisited it a few months ago I could barely move. Someone told me there's an issue with multi-core processors and I never did find a fix for it.

Was the ogre curse established in EQ or was that something they came up with in EQ 2 to justify the new ogre model? If they're changing the lore for this game then I don't see why we can't play ugly dudes.

new EQ model

Ultimately, developers want to strive for long-term appeal and removing all the nuances that make the world feel like it's worth investing in isn't going to accomplish that. Every mmo of the last decade has felt like a single-player arcade game and that's why these games have no staying power...

When did class and race penalties and benefits become radical ideas in the mmo community? Trolls had natural regeneration perks and it was awesome. Hybrid classes had experience penalties but they had a greater arsenal of abilities and looked cooler than your typical tank class. I just don't...

Your frame of reference changes with technology so the old EQ models look crappy by today's standards but they were awesome for their time. The ogres and trolls had more personality than anything since. I find it hard to believe that people oppose those grotesque, lumbering monsters.

EQ had very rich and fascinating lore but it served mostly as the game's background and players had an abstract connection to that lore. You really were supposed to "fill in the blanks." Nowadays, you're forced to run through some half-baked story as part of an mmo's "fourth pillar" and...

I'm glad they're taking the minimalist approach to combat. Having several hotbars full of abilities is one of the worst concepts introduced to mmos.

Maybe it's Morales I was thinking of. At any rate, a lot of the teams' demands were ridiculous this year.

I'm pretty sure Jack Z didn't want to get rid of Morse or Morales

Bud Selig is a crooked, grandiose piece of shit. He did nothing for years and all of a sudden he launches a ridiculous investigation. On what basis can he ban someone who's never even tested positive?

There's a difference between graphics and aesthetics. The environments look pretty good and forgelight is impressive, but the models and armor look terrible. I sincerely hope they're just prototypes.
