eq2 TOS era was great.

Not sure, i will be starting on 26th. Looking forward to it. Curiously i am playing through bg2 right now as well.

Yes. My hope is they make a world as deep, sandboxy and interesting as they did in WL2. My feeling is combat should be better as it is fantasy ( more spells and such ).. I just hope they keep the environment and dialogue skills ( traps etc )... they did a great job with that in WL2. Here...

Old school RPG gaming is back. although I expect this one to be a bit less beefy than bg1 or 2. Pillars of eternity Tides of numerena. sword coast legends and there is a baldurs 1.5 sequel with same engine slated for 2015 as well

started playing this got bored at level 5, now playing baldurs gate on ipad. LOL

I had trouble digging it due to this. I suppose if the dungeons look cool i could ignore that part...

Is there a class that doesn't lock you in place when you do an ability ? Control Wizard would be very fun if that were the case... perhaps it changes at later levels ?

DDO has some decent grouping although often ruined by the OP-ed characters. They really nerfed content in that game this past year.

Dungeons, or even overland but where you are building grps to tackle content ... even if not large %. I need a grping game and they seem to be scarce unless i go back to 1999 or 2004 or something.

what do you guys think is the best Group PVE in an MMO of today ? Not EQ or Wow

This Control wizard would be great if i didn't stop when i casted... the simple things they miss !

I am in, only level 4. will try to hook up with guild. Good playtime Thur-fri-sat for me, girlfriend working heh.

Damn, you are making me miss VG. But yeah, you hit the nail on the head. I loved the player towns, when crafting you always would see the same peeps around, start talking to them etc. It actually worked to have these player towns with crafting in it, not many games achieved the social crafting...

I would do this for sure.

I would add: Psionist Bard Also from Vanguard.

I think any hope for the EQ franchise to continue in any meaningful way is gone. They have been "working" on EQN since what 2011 or before? No wonder sony sold them off, they can't put shit out on the only real strong IP they have.

Dood seriously, how many years go by of mediocre or shitshow titles does it take to realize that the beauty of MMOs was socialization and it is gone for a sub par single player experience. That is what is missing. And that was what EQ had amoung a few others back in the old Days. Buy ya...

Its just marketing and target markets. # of casual gamers > hardcore or those that have the time to devote to games like we did in eq/eq2/wow/VG etc... That's all this has been about, who is controlling funding and what is and isn't getting funded.

Its been so long since grouping was fun for me in MMOs, I just don't play MMos anymore. If i wanted to play alone, i would play solo RPGs like i do (currently playing wasteland2 which is fantastic). I have no hope left that we will see a real group based game again... its all about the solo...

LOLz

Seconded, i will sub for 2 accounts on launch !

Indeed, if it can't fit on a controller the skill doesn't belong, hell Pong only had one button !!!!

I love pistols. the damage per action point is actually pretty good and you can move around and still get some dps on something.

Excellent... I for one am having a blast, the game gets deeper and deeper every few hours I play... I am in Damonta now and I can't stop playing this damn thing.

This game is awesome sauce.

SOE is done, they are milKing customers in eq's name to develop who knows what. This ship sailed fucking years ago .. I don't know how you guys support this shit..

you are correct sir...

Isn't that what SOE is doing with EqNext ?

Honestly, tech is not as bad as people think. I have been in tech for years ( software engineer, now sales engineer ) and many of my friends are Software guys and don't do 60 a week, more like 45-50. If you can find a defense contractor even better.. you work 40 no more and if more they pay u...

/semi-agree. I have had enough of this "fund our development" model as well although with an Indie title it comes with the territory.

I am not talking about Cycling through anything. Every person even in a real world has a limited amount of desires per day... if the world is at all dynamic and reactive to a player or group of players ( faction ) then I dont see why u cant do this. The desires or quests for a given NPC are...

Seriously ? This is how quests were built in the early 2000's and prior. Its in some MMOs today and this is basically how dynamic / daily quests got started. It is in Skyrim. SWG did it from Computer terminals, Baldurs gate had this as well as any D&D game. Its a bit Old school but its been...

Indeed LOL

SWG NGE was worse... SOE's creativity and quality left a long ass time ago.

I get what your saying but shit... more power too them, if it doesn't suck i will play it.

The AI is so WTF stupid. I had one of my cities surrounded by a mix of marines and Armor and i fought him off with 1 plane and the city bombardment, he never moved closer than 2 squares away and i pounded his face. Just horrible, these games that release in such shit state are returning it...

If this game did not have the CIV name it would be absolute junk. Its horribly bland, vannila. I have not been challenged a bit and I am on 2nd hardest level. AI once again shit for a CIV game. The lack of wonders makes the game worse than CIV.. I would rather just go back to CIV V or...

its a snoozefest, wait for the DLCs when it all goes on sale.

Love this stuff.. !

Get a good SSD. Problem solved.
