Well from reviews making it sound "Single Person Drop-In Drop-Out MP" versus a true MMO, I'm already HIIIIIIIIGHLY dubious of it. Plus a little annoyed at them being friends with many in the core studio that I've not gotten a slot yet either. (It's mostly being handled by ZeniMax versus BethSoft...

Shame - wife apparently got selected for the Stress Test Thursday night but didn't notice the email until Friday.... whoops... I'd likely have an opinion to mention if not for her lackadaisical email checking.

So.... it's Sealed?

Had a 8 person queue when I logged in the first time.

Original EQ with some degree of fake instancing (i.e. Vanguard's system where stuff was open world but while "locked out" you couldn't interact with a mob - probably that and Diplomacy were the only real good concepts of VG to ever reuse) would be a wonder to behold for damn sure. Possibly with...

Nod it makes sense from a $$ standpoint - just annoying as one of the earlier fans of the product to be hosed on the second for a while because of greed however. (Since I'm a huge anti-Apple person)

Thus the "or Android" part of my quote... And you can certainly nickle and dime PC stuff as well - it's just not as "push friendly" where its just a simple click away. (Hell, look at Solforge and the like...) Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth when the primary form of something is sacrificed...

So ridiculous that they're not doing PC or Android yet.

With FFTA-2, I tried every one on the market with a Phenom II overclocked to 4.5GHz and my i7 before I overclocked - and yea, both would have pretty horrendous framerate drops at times. (And with a 7970 overclocked in both - not that I think GBA emulators touch the video card) And PS1...

Emulators, unless there's a quantum leap in their quality since the last time I bothered (and it wasn't that long ago, like 2-3 years), take YEARS to have a PC present something decently. Last I checked even Game Boy Advance emulators have serious lag issues even on an i7 with most ROMs.

Technically speaking as well - there's plenty of launch games worth picking up this time - just not launch exclusives - for people like Sean and I that prefer console to PC for most games due to control schemes/trophies/etc (The former are mine, not stating his preference, likely similar though)...

Pirating AC4 - there's a joke on the tip of my tongue....

To be fair, it could be that they're delaying it to do something that might improve the specs - maybe. I wouldn't put high odds on it, but sacrificing 2-3 months to Sony has to have some sort of really big reason behind it - if true.

Better than him quoting the AmazonGames poll from Facebook that was at 94% when it was removed!

Internet polls are almost always skewed in some way - they're terribly prone to tinkering and people misrepresenting themselves "just because" - in addition to that fact that they're voluntary so it only represents the most interested people that really want to present that they're interested in...

Seeming neat from the tutorial - but holy crap their servers are absolutely hosed for registering right now.

And note, in the original day or so of the poll PC wasn't included - but was added after tons of people kept posting "PC" or "PC/PS4", etc. combinations in their posts.

Didn't have a Phat - but the the 2nd through most recent PS3 revisions (Slim/SuperSlim) are both in my household and are inaudible even over just the base static that my sound system emits while it's muted. (Or the noise of the PC's in the case of the Slim - and we run pretty quiet machines...

I'm always a fan of enough fast lasers to eat their shields with Glaives and other beams that I manually fire the second I drop their shields - they're soooo efficient on damaging things so quickly that their repair crews have an impossible job to keep up. (Shields of course being part of that...

My Gamestop - which isn't lambasting the XBOne was quoting me 1 to 10 about a week ago - obviously YMMV by your store, but considering we're in one of the high income areas (not the highest by far though) in the highest average income per capita state in the nation though - you'd expect the...

Seriously? Not chargeable by default without an extra purchase - that's such a complete deal breaker for me.... just when they were getting close to reeling me back in (I'm a sucker for not missing ANY exclusives - although PS4 would still be my main machine of the two by far with current data)...

Don't think this one was ever going to be PC - this isn't the Garriot project. I was confused clicking on the thread thinking it was the Garriot one if you did the same.

Sold.... Ok... not really... but it does sound like a cool experience.

EQ1 being 'hard' is laughable coming from people that largely quit during GoD when EQ1 finally started being consistently difficult versus 95 percent of encounters being trivial with a cleric lead that could handle some pretty basic math. Besides that it was only pulling - which was often...

Isn't Brad there in a 'floating' capacity already? Might already be the plan that Smed has for him.

Love the McQuaid quote and absolutely agree with him - unified engine with different systems and timelines sounds great and with voxel tech likely easy to reuse assets. Copy temple add some age - done.

ART ASSYLUM was on their sign.... LOL and that's not a joke, check yourself.

Indeed Elurin it removes a 'worry' with them nerfing/buffing since no one is stuck to a class - and they can use class frequency of use as an indicator of what to adjust. If anything it makes balance simpler in the longview.

Those that deal in financials of all sorts are still referenced as brokers even with commodity and currency trades amongst others. And while I'm not that intimately familiar since I have a VP of a major bank in the family to micromanage my 8 digits I'm working with (into 9 digits with the others...

Pokemon style collecting has never been part of the genre since the getgo after all - clickie items anyone? Not terribly bright are you?

4 posts and 3 negs isn't a great indicator of 'truth' qwerty. PS - Most people with money don't watch stock reels constantly they generally pay for the micromanaging while directly watching a few times a month. Constant watching is for brokers and the desperate that want to make it but...

Collecting classes AKA abilities is functionally identical to collecting spells which is a staple of the genre. Only difference is the degree of adjustment it allows but with abilities being tied to items and equipping restricted by class its not going to be that overboard most likely.

Plenty of nonhardcore titles have hardcore elements - entry level of the game won't be - that's the absolute he's referencing. Christ, look at any console title since 2000 or so and there's a casual base game with hardcore options - esp once trophies/achieves came in - and class progression will...

Player Forge in EQ1/2 is 75% to the creator 25% to SOE IIRC whatever it is almost definitely the same regardless.

Sun is destroyable in EQN so if it was pitch humans couldn't play anymore...

Evidence? Oh that's right that thing below your back. What benefit do those shit-tinted glasses give you besides fond memories of the landscapes of vanguard?

They quoted that to keep a character maxed on a class consistently you'd not want to multiclass much - so likely not 24h.

With the timeline implying Sand Elves are still around technically its before Innoruuk ascended from my understanding of the timeline - besides demigods he's the youngest.

I'm hedging positive myself in case you missed it earlier - but either extreme its accurate for although I find the haters a bit more annoying since so many want no evolution to the genre.

And this is why you are sane and others are not. There's a ton they could screw up of what they've shown and some sounds dubious but right now we're critiquing a painting based on the showing us a blank canvas, brushes and paint. It could be Picasso or it could be a 6 yr olds finger painting...
