The tell bug has been on ptr since they first rolled out feywild for testing there. Also the nightmare mount basically old nightmare boxes if opened now are now 75% chance to drop the epic mount. Also been like that for a month on test server and they rolled it out to live. Just more lol...

Module 1 first major content patch comes out in typical cryptic fashion. Soul crushing server lag, lol coding sploit ie free nightmare mounts for everyone, massive nerfs to every class. Oh and also drow race becomes free for all, and as an added fuck you to the tards who paid 200 for founder...

Must of missed this, when did they say sb, or even mobs, would be in eqnl? Nevermind that that still has nothing to do with what i said. even if you could bring sb/mobs in you can't make your own mini-mmorpg, you could just make a mini eqn with different scenery.

Um no. Arm chair developer is class, combat system, skill tree, ui, and other game systems. Things pony tail and the other soe guys are doing and pretending you can influence with bull shit polls. This is arm chair artists on the cheap because art/design/world assets take the longest to create...

While it's cool that they've green lit the turning of that tech demo (Eve VR) into an actual game (Eve Valkyrie) it's not an MMO. It's a really cool looking Oculus Rift Dog fighter game, that takes place in the Eve Setting but not actually in Eve (not like Dust is in Eve).

I wonder how much money it cost SOE to buy the best of show awards, given that they've done literally nothing with this vaporware other than outsource middleware and write shit down on napkins.

Kerran was their Tauren equivalent from when the game was going to be a WoW Clone, that's why 10feet tall and omgshoulderpads. Obviously they're reusing all art assets/animations from earlier iterations of the game cus they have like nothing else done.

that's a pretty bad baseline as the new CTA skirmish allows anyone level 6 - 60 to group together. The mobs are scaled to your level, so you're dealing with % hits dmg done/taken. So a 60 GF is cleaving (base attack) for 10% of their hp and shows as 1,500-2,000 damage done while a level 15...

They deal with it the same way any competent developer does, do not trust the client. Other than EQ the only games i've heard of having client hacks is DCUO and Neverwinter, and both were due to retread dev's putting shit client side. I'm assuming SOE fixed DCUO? Cryptic fixed Neverwinter by...

Hacking was an issue in eq due to competition for open world raid targets. Its not an issue if pve is all instanced. Whether it will be an issue in Eqn or not depends on what they decide to do about instances.

Yeah they fixed GF aggro generation in addition to making dc astral shield no longer "stack" thus no more dual dc groups. Those were bad even back in beta but they were "safe" so bads ran them all the time. Now every class has a niche, a role they excel at that when combined with other...

yeah at least. There's really no need to add any other classes, the game is balanced around the 5 they have currently. With the exception of GWF which are a little underpowered (in PVE) requiring a lot of gear and player skill to really shine and be viable, the game is well balanced around the...

You wormhole guys are a totally different breed. In low sec It's hard enough for most of our guys to handle double titan bridging. "yeah dude, right click and bridge, ok?" "Now approach the other titan. what are you doing? why are you warping just approach the next pos and repeat..."...

This is basically nothing like how Eve is although it's not factually incorrect. I feel that most of the speculation on EQN is a lot like this paragraph. Someone explained it to somebody once and you use your own personal gaming background/bias and populate the facts having no first hand...

so yeah not reading the last 120 pages, anyone care to summarize? or can we just get a summary thread with shit that is actually known from people that were at SOE live/saw the panels/asked direct questions not covered in panels?

Historically sieges was an army surrounding and cutting off supply lines to a castle/walled city and starving out the population. If your thinking of shit like LOTR siege of Gondor style "siege" then those are won or lost in an hour or so as well.

what we seeiswhat exists. sign up for landmark beta so you can build the rest. the core game play which they didn't talk about but was seen in the combat videos is clearly action MMO with exaggerated attack animations, "stylized" art, and WoW shouldpads from previous iterations when the game...

ah yes black desert. While watching the twitch stream I couldn't help but keep thinking "ah you guys have been following Black Desert's development too?" every time that douche bag (tuttle? whoever the host was) said "...which we've never seen before in an MMO" or "which is totally innovative"...

not going to bother to read the previous 80 something pages since i realized the site came back up after the reveal. and fuck it not going to retype my thoughts, i'm just gonna cut and paste something I posted on another forum about this game: Of all the things they've been hyping about...

drow race has been in since beta, it just costs 200 bucks to play them. Module 1 is adding moon elf race too, like 60 bucks. ranger is supposed to be added sometime before xmas, but since they have no clue how to balance existing classes and have no plans for raid content, no idea why...

The rokh was a standard fleet bs for the last several years now. It's starting to fall out of favor with tiericide to battleships in Odyssey but it's still good, just other ships or atleast their roles are "new" and being explored. I'm not the one to ask about PVE in Eve Online so I won't...

eh they are not rare they are always there, but they are off the beaten path as in your little sparkly trail will not lead you to those area's where other quests are. it's really nbd, you missed quest content and had to run a foundry or skirmish to level up, no biggie, not really sure why we're...

Were you not invoking? You get a surprising amount of xp/ad in addition to coins/wards/pots/buffs/etc while leveling by simply invocating at camp fires. Assuming you were invoking (why would you not?) You missed quest content somewhere. While 90% of the game is bread crumb hand holding...

Theres an entire zone more quest xp in the game than whats required to hit 60 so not sure what you mean about dry spots. theres no need to do anything beyond questing to hit level cap. Though id recommend skirmishes as they are currently level locked meaning you cant go back and do them later...

Apple may be a large company but personal computing isn't the primary focus. Macs make up like 5-10% of the home computer (notice i can't even call them personal computers?) market and maybe 5% of those actually play games (via boot camp). Its like complaining that ford is a large company so...

Foundry drops are the same as open world content drops for your level range. that's gold/potions/enchants/green loot/etc. Foundries do not have skill kits though, b/c it's too easily abused, and that's your best source of crafting resources/enchants/etc. Foundries are a good place to farm...

500k Simultaneous users? rofl. WoW maybe hits 500k simultaneous users at peak with it's whatever+ millions players. 10% of your player base online at any single point in time is good, 15% at peak. Unless all of your players are from 1 region (like NA, or Europe, or Asia) in which case you...

double post :/

There's no sandbox or emergent gameplay at all. This is EQ 2.1. They said they weren't making a WoW Clone and that's all this is. Nothing new or different about this game at all. Everything is Instanced? So PVP is out and PVE is WoW unless combat is all action-y which means everyone wanting...

wow everything Flipmode said sounds like absolute failure. If any of that is true, I wonder what it cost SOE to have MMORPG, TTH, etc claim this shit is actually good.

The fact that you called it a raid is lols. Eve is the most MMORPG of any MMORPG ever made. You've gone full retard

the last 381 pages of this thread has basically been full retard. Vanilla WoW was EQ minus all the shit that people bitched about non-stop. Of course it was different, but it's basic design was the same. Now of course after a decade of people getting what they wanted you realize that...

uh yeah no. Could turn the game up to max settings at launch, couldn't play anything beyond slide show but there was no point as the graphics weren't really good at all, everything looked like plastic with poor animation. The problems weren't graphic resources, it was unoptimized/untested code...

Exactly. This is one of the many things they began copying from WoW's beta. another obvious one was "Oh WoW has ! quest givers?, ok, have our guys /wave at them to let them know they have a quest! yeah that's +1 betterer". Along with RNG/meme-generator'd quests to catch up to the thousand+...

eh, at one point EQ2 maybe was this, you can kinda see it, but by at one point i mean in alpha/design stage. And then WoW's very public and much lauded series of beta's began and you can see clearly that someone said "oh, shit" and then began trying to copy and "one-up" as many features of WoW...

really don't see the appeal of this video? "here's jimmy's cubicle. He's at lunch. but that's his desk. Here's billy's Cubicle, what you working on billy?" "art assets" "Wow, cool! an artist! ok over here we have the break room, ok who drained the god damn coffee pot? you know the rules"

E&B had 40k players at it's peak. I was one of them. I was also one of the 42k players that played AC2, so I know a thing or two about what is and is not a "healthy playerbase" in bad games, and E&B is one of those games that totally bombed and was shut down. That is literally the definition...

This post is flat out wrong on so many levels it's not even really worth refuting. luckily someone else already did. EaB was Everquest in Space. It was more like an MMO freelancer but not nearly as in depth. it bombed horribly because nobody was interested in a PVE spaceship game. Eve...

Eve is a PVP-Centric game that is doing better than EQ1 or EQ2 ever did, so depends on your definition of "well". Nothing compares to WoW numbers at it's peak. Even F2P games aren't really drawing millions of total players, much less millions spending ~15bux in cashshops monthly.

game and combat especially were atrocious at release, like 10 hotbars + mouse click bullshit by level 20. I'm sure the game got better but no doubt with ability bloat from 9 years of expansions has made it even more lolterrible. EQ2 is literally the first game I uninstalled during the free...
