Did you play EQ? I'm not talking about raids. I'm talking about if you had a solid group with a puller all of whom knew what they were doing. Barring the odd pull where too many mobs showed up, you had time to chat and socialize as you gained xp. If it was a good group, you might all just find...

Yes. EQ2 isn't EQ.

Way to misinterpret. When you're holding a camp and doing set pulls of mobs that you're group can easily kill, it's not a problem for you to kill them with auto-attack while you chat and occasional press a random DPS ability and yes, if things are going fine and the guys are dying withing 20-45...

We've got the government we deserve. Compare Brazil's protest over ticket increases to almost no protests over the creation of a police state. Time to just buy a ranch in South Dakota and get off the grid as much as you can.

It's completely rational given that EQ wasn't an action based RPG. Not if what they want is an action-based RPG.

Lol. Sure buddy. So I guess every time there's a cutscene in WoW you flipout? ------------ Anyway, it's amazing how many people in the EQN thread never appear to have actually played EQ.

So you're just trolling this thread then. Nice.

Well if EQN is just a WoW clone then not only is my post above pointless but this whole thread is pointless. So no worries.

This is the EQN thread not the Wildstar thread. There should be no need to defend EQ autoattack in this thread. If you, Byr and company want an action RPG you've got lots of options now and more coming up. But fuck you all if you want EQ to be an action RPG. Cheers

And this is why we can't have nice things. You completely missed the point, it's not that you kill every mob with auto-attack, it's that if you've got a mob you can kill with aa, you can hit the mob and then do something else for a minute or two (grab a beer, answer a phone call, take a dump)...

Sure buddy, because the wheel needs be re-invented every fucking time. Amirite?

Travyon was his son, didn't you know that?

Frustration not venom. I shouldn't have to explain why a simple auto-attack is best on this forum. It's not just typing. If for example, I'm facing a mob I can kill on aa. I can click on aa and go grab a root beer from the fridge. It's about quality of life in gaming. As Ukerric noted...

No, I don't. You're arguing that continuously holding down a key is equivalent to pressing a key once. If you can't understand the difference between the two you're certainly not going to understand why it negatively impacts my gameplay. I will however give you one hint and then stop this...

There's a big difference with me having to hold something down and me just clicking a key once. If you can't see the difference not much I can say as it's not really an arguable point. You can insist the sky is green as much as you want, but it's still blue.

How is continuously holding a mouse button down for the entirety of a combat in anyway comparable to pressing one key one time for auto-attack for the entirety of a combat?

Your sarcasm is wasted as an efficiently written MMORPG should work with dial up internet. Maybe there'll be some issues in a 72 man raid but all the heavy data (textures, models, etc.) should be on your computer so only location data and the like should be going back and forth.

Having to hold down the left mouse button is not an auto-attack.

Yep. I saw which way Blizzard was going and quit a few patches after that. SOE's guilty of similar things removing items they considered OP, so I'm sure if EQN is any good the best years will be the first year or three.

Hahahah. Ad hominems when you've got nothing better to say. Anyway, I think I'll trust my own judgment on EQN and not that of some random guy who claims to be best buddies with an SOE programmer but thanks! #dontgofullretard

Yes. Welcome to the Internet.

And this is the kind of bullshit that created this idiocy. Jim Crow is dead and gone. That idiot Obama was elected by more than half the country. Racism and so-called white guilt are just cards played by Democrats to keep blacks voting for them. The trial was a sham, whether or not...

My bad for not being clear in the original post - was a long time ago. Maybe they should have done what you suggested ;-)

It helps if you read the thread before dissing the fanboys. I and others have pointed out several times that EQ allowed for multiple playstyles. If you want to be doing something all the time (no downtime) you played a puller, if you wanted a more leisurely game you could play a DPS. If you...

It screwed over the hundreds? thousands? of people who had spent time getting those weapons in particular Arcanite Reapers and/or who had passed on faster and less useful rares. Edit: And it started Blizzard on the path of everything must be simplified for idiots. Purples must be better.

Did you not play WoW at that point? Instant attacks made slower speed higher damage weapons better. So slower, high damage weapons like the AR were better than purples with faster speed but lower damage. Patch 1.8 not 1.6. My mistake.

DPS nerf. Killed arcanite reaper beginning of "normalization" of vanilla where Blizzard started changing anything that wasn't working the way they wanted (in the case of 1.6 nuked slow weapon DPS which made many blues better than purples). It's too bad, because if Blizzard had embraced things...

Prior to patch 1.6 it was close but no. Had far too much instanced content, too many quests, too few good sub-endgame items and the BGs were just item grinds (though AV was pretty fun until they screwed it up). Additionally the talent tree system screwed up classes and combat was just a little...

No.

You can start by not posting stupid shit all the time. As noted multiple times, there wasn't a ton of downtime with a good group and good puller. OTOH, it wasn't DDR either (well except maybe for the puller).

Looks like Wildstar will scratch their itch, hopefully they all migrate to that thread and that game.

Sure it is. Beats carpal tunnel syndrome from DDR combat any day of the week.

Dude the trailer is awesomely bad and a must watch. No need to watch the movie. Funny shit.

Feel free to suggest new ideas. Still 21 days to speculate.

For once I agree with you.

Maybe it touched too much on the storybricks/dynamic world stuff? Or maybe he's just a weird guy.

Who's alt are you again?

It's not a WoW clone.

Well +1 for EFF & Snowden.
