I like hearing these two guys talk so much more than the dudes who are clearly trying to push a product in a car salesman kind of way.

I can embrace that idea. If we're creating the landscape for them, they can at least give us a nice set of shiny, class-based weapons with quests to go along with it. I'm OK with a catch-all weapon if it can evolve.

Yeah, that's the third time I've been told that.I understand that, and agree that's how it will probably work. Certainly no deal breaker for me, but it'll be disappointing because I've always loved the way EQ handled epics.

Here's hoping PAX brings some amount of new information because Gamescom was lacking. It'll probably all be Landmark related. If Landmark is going to be ready for beta this winter, it'd be nice to start kicking out (even if very controlled) a playable demo for big events.

Yeah, no doubt something like that will happen well after launch with I'm OK with. I've just always that gear and weapons crafted specifically for a class were awesome (it sounds like they'll at least have some racial armor sets so that's cool).

Personal preference. They will probably handle it similar to what you've said, but class-specific epics were a highlight of EverQuest 1 for me (even if I didn't get mine until way after they were relevant). Swiftwind and Earthcaller, Ragebringer, Fiery Defender, Jagged Blade of War; they were...

I wouldn't mind that but I'm almost certain ranger was mentioned as one of the eight starting classes in the beginning (unless you're just referencing my dual wield/bow preference). It's not that big of a deal though, I'll find the sweet spot and mix and match abilities. I still wonder what...

I doubt I'll be able to pick a half elf until humans and elves start matching parts after launch so I'm not sure what I'm going to pick. I wonder what variations on a ranger they'll have. I prefer the old school EQ take of two swords and efficient with a bow over the common modern flavor of...

That's way lower than I assumed. I might have to dig for some projections, I have to think SOE had way bigger plans for it.

EQ2 supports that, so maybe.

Kinolin the Half Elf Bard all level 3 in Faydark and shit if anyone wants to holler. I've already died like five times singing a damage AOE song and being near guards and I damn near lost my corpse at level 2 which had my coveted short sword of the buttered knife.

Just tweeted about this. They're making it hard enough for people following to separate EQNL from EQN. The wider audience that they're trying to capture is already confused as shit. There's still a long way until launch, but SOE better start delivering a clearer message soon.

I hope so. I hope it's designed to wax group after group and if a dragon is defeated, it better have left some permanent marks.

I find myself at least somewhat forgiving compared to a lot of people but I still don't like the sound of this. Who would remember Nagafen if a new dragon took his place with each new group of adventurers that killed him?

No static at all? Really? So when Nagafen is dead he'll never return and only one person will ever own a Cloak of Flames? Or the more likely scenario that loot like that won't be tied to a boss, I guess. I'm having a hard time comprehending how completely ruling outanystatic content is a good...

No confusion here, I just think the video is awesome and hits me in the nostalgia bone.

OK, this shit is awesome.

You know what sucks? This dude had to preface everything he said with GUYS I ACTUALLY LOVE THIS FUCKING SERIES for like a minute or two before getting on with his point because people would are so easily offended by criticism that they would've worked themselves into a frenzy without it.

The issue with Jennifer Hepler is that a bunch of psychos don't know the difference between criticizing someone's work and disrupting people's personal lives. Anyone who thinks sending death threats to her, her family, making sick calls or writing disgusting letters is justified because she...

They rebooted the lore again since the Last Stand.

This game is so far off by the time it release Titan might actually be a thing in some form of development.

I love the world (names and locations based on the lore) of EverQuest, but I have to plead ignorance on the actual story. I'll be more bummed by strictly not seeing the locales or races or whatever more than anything. I'm not trying to justify anything being done, but so long as Tunare (and...

I guess I'm not totally up to speed with EQN lore. Is Tunare out right now?

Well that sounds awful. Edit: You've mixed the games up, that's forBlack Gold.

It looks good, but like a forest I'd see in every day life. Not saying that couldn't translate to EQ, but I found Feerrott to be more interesting.

Nah, EQ1 original Iksar model is the best. The EQ2 one looks like a goomba from the Mario Bros. movie: massive body, tiny head. You've gotta really tweak the model to make it look decent.

Expect the Next part of the title to justify any changes that seem out of place in EQ. It's very deliberate and until something called EQ3 is announced, it's better to make peace with what you expected from this game than to cringe at any new announcement or poll that gets thrown out there. I...

That's the post referenced by tad10 made by Mughal, nothing else. I don't give a shit about this project because it's too far away and just got the reboot treatment.

Yeah, but who wouldwin in a race?

Dave commented on this Reddit post on class roles.SOE loves Reddit. Edit: Of course Big Flex beat me to it.

I'm just glad that all the important mechanics are discussed here. I still can't fathom why developers snub this place.

All Smed tweets about is DOTA2 and Twitch. Crazy how silent he's been about EQN since the unveil.

I'm finally part of the 1%.

That post was meant to be after yours. Ranger + Ninja = Ranja. Bad timing.

Ranja confirmed.

I'll be sure to discuss this in depth and gush about the brilliance of gun wielding ninjas. Fucking hell, I'm so glad this is OUR* game otherwise we'd never get this list of amazing polls to vote on. *All polls are considered irrelevant if the developer disagrees

That's exactly what it was, but that equates to someone asking for permadeath and the response being "well delete your character." Or a camp-based mob hunting request being responded to with "well get a group, sit in a corner and grind." It's a bad argument because if the tools are in place to...

On the Evercast Twitch lobby I said a player driven auction system would be awesome rather than flipping through a menu interface and he said "So make it happen." I think he loves giving that response, it's a pretty easy way to dodge a question. But if Faydark is actually overrun with dragons...

Agreed on Kelethin, it's awesome. If it's not in at launch (I assume it won't be), we'll end up Rally Calling it soon enough.

Sounded like a PlanetSide 2 competitor potentially set in the Starcraft universe despite it originally being billed as an original IP.
