Hastings was working on: http://www.sfgate.com/nation/article...es-4613620.php The Petraeus Affair (pun intended) is a very, very odd duck.

Not if the big story was bigger than Snowden's leaks.

Got it. Okay, I'd buy a vowel and: (1) in-world guild plots but instanced player housing. (2) in-world EVEish PvP for unobtanium on Odus but instanced player created battlegrounds. (3) Player created content = LDON replacement I'll rate that as plausible.

I believe you're talking to a dev - as I stated earlier - you were correct about Kobolds. However, I think there's a lot of unknowns and I'm really skeptical of all the instancing claims. Housing, sure - there's some logic to it. But the instanced PvP seems a straight up WoW clone and not...

Too bad. I'll try and send you some crappy but exclusive camera pics and/or gameplay videos from SOE Live if at all possible.

You need to re-watch the hacking the Prius video.

I'd give you a +1 for running eqnjunkies but sadly I can't. Also EQN is supposed to be solo-friendly (storybricks) but grouping-focused (dungeons).

@Gecko generally yes, but they said EQN is set in same time frame as EQ1 but in an alternate timeline so there maybe/will be some differences from EQ1. I'll find the quote. http://www.eqnexus.com/forums/index....ompendium.188/ links in middle of page but seems like there was more info

I like them, I just don't think they'll be in EQN. It's a lot of work for a limited return. Having three areas you can instance heavily to deal with day one loads makes more business sense, and that's got to be an overriding concern over at SOE. @etchazz hard factions are unlikely, this is...

I'd go with awesome-o as opposed to worst.

Dude it's a total "accident". It's just happenstance he wrote freaked out emails to WikiLeaks hours before and of course the NSA wouldn't be monitoring WikiLeaks emails or phones. Fuckin' conspiracy theorists.

Early AAs may be necessary/not-necessary-but-very-nice if class jumping is indeed in the game, seems like it would make class jumping more viable? Haven't thought it through really.

I'd bet on a minimum of 3 semi-instanced starting areas: good, bad, neutral. I'll agree there may be a single instanced tutorial area where everyone can start (or skip) to learn basics of the game that then flows into one of the above three starting areas.

Never played EVE but I do know it's FFA. I'm just suggesting that if EQN goes EVElike it will go EVElight with soft starting factions to limit PvP ganking in civilized areas: halflings won't be able to gank other halflings. Once you get to 0.0 it's FFA. Hopefully that makes some sense...

I'm not backing down from evelight prediction. Without some kind of null sec with guild warfare I don't see a next gen sandbox. Engine was built for massive battles. Gnomes have to be in as small race for neutral faction to match halflings and kobolds. For now I will take smed at his word...

Yes something is missing even if storybricks replaces wow questing there is no way you get to sandbox. So either flip's source is fundamentally wrong on a key aspect or smed is a bald faced liar. Both are equally plausible.

Cookie-cutter player-made dungeons and picking up a class based item gives you access to that class or some similar BS. @Vegetoee yes I had my fill of it with WoW.

That's a huge assumption but per Carl better to wait for the Aug 2d info release - I could be concerned about something that ends being wrong, or getting cut or being such a minor part as to be easily ignorable. @Cinge fair enough

Stephane Bura is lead developer of StoryBricks, Brian Green was the Storybricks to MMO application guy IIRC. And in answer to your question, not much on the game resume that I could find, but man did he spend a lot of time on M59.

It's a big pile of meh if it is outside the world... Generally instancing anything is bad and here they're creating a bunch of instanced out-of-the-world content. The big selling point of a sandbox is that you can change the world. Not possible with instanced content. As for the PvP servers...

Well if they know they're only leaking droplets. Combat/destructible world are key mechanics that no one knows about. Then again, there was an interesting article on secrecy at Apple at Forbes or some other magazine - long story short, at Apple you never ask what someone else is working on, and...

Ut and Flip are missing way more than "some details" Re-review the videos. Storybricks doesn't mix well with old-style quests. though maybe you're right and they kludged them together. *shrug*

Nah. It's actually locked. There'd be more leaks and we'd know about combat mechanics for sure - it's been a year since the revamp. I'll bet Smed has flat out stated that if he's able to trace a leak to someone that person is fired and I wouldn't put it past Smed to float false info within SOE...

Quest system is all-storybricks all-the-time. Nope. Instanced PvP is a wasteland not a bonus. I'm totally fine with no PvP at all (EQ1) but if you're going to have PvP in a game it needs to have something to do with the game, not off in a corner. Completely unsandboxy.

What @Randin said. A PvE Sandbox without PvP of any sort is fine and EQ1ish; a Sandbox with full on or EVElight PvP is also fine. But any type of instanced PvP is retarded - especially in the age of the MOBA. It's not going to attract any players who like that sort of thing (they can just...

Pretty serious head fake by smed if true. Talk up sandbox and eve and deliver indistinguishable wow clone instanced pvp. Won't go as far as flunkle and write it off but instanced player content is not a sandbox. We will see on 2nd.

Please go back and re-read some of my posts. I've stated multiple times that if SOE produces a great game at release that game will eventually get nerfed/bad decisioned into a crap game - see Vanilla WoW/Blizzard. So the important thing, if the game is wicked, is to play as much as you can...

I'll ask about vendor diving if I remember and (importantly) have a chance - there's only one panel now. I think second question should come up during reveal. If they don't talk about crafting you know you're screwed. Post in the SOE Live Live thread whenever it gets started.

It will have EQ1 lore (mostly - some undoubtedly retarded changes) It will have VG/DCUO combat if it is actiony, or EQ1/VG combat if it is not. It will have EQ1/VG classes It will have VGish crafting. It will have EQ1 races (mostly - some undoubtedly retarded changes like kobolds) It will...

Nah. They'll rig the votes in Iowa/New Hampshire. The fix is in.

Doesn't look 14.

Pretty sure you're wrong on the EQ2 part. EQ/VG/EVE/DCUO maybe, but not EQ2, except for the china and silverware.

But hate tables are out and storybricks is in so that mob should still be pissed at you when you log back in.

They could leash with weighted AI. Pursue until X distance if this guy pisses me off by showing up univited Pursue until X+ Y distance if this guy really pisses me off by killing my dog Pursue forever if this guy is my archenemy and killed my daughter and wife

I don't think anyone had this powerhttp://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Precognition

Good point, I wonder what SOE did. Super long leash? Weighted priorities in storybricks AI?

Means leashing.

Quite the sad face. I'm sure we can all group up in beta from time-to-time...
