    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    It's been my biggest question/concern since the announcement. If the AI works as advertised, it's a game changer. If not... Yeah, we'll get bored.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    My assumption regarding StoryBricks right now is not whether or not it works*, but how easy they can make it for the layperson to start scripting NPC behavior. The SB team already showed the system "worked" at least on a rudimentary level a couple of years ago. *some doubts about the huge...

    It was very much faked. Fake in the sense that combat wasn't functional yet (and by all reports, still is not) and they were using pre-made animations controlled by real players. Don't put "simulated" in quotes like I said it when I never actually used the word. Don't you think that if combat...

    They straight up admitted that combat didn't exist yet and that real people (they even showed them!) were playing the monsters. All you saw were animations selling a concept. It's called a pitch. There's no conspiracy here, do your fucking homework. Launch announcement showed like 5 devs playing...

    Can't you see, the Forgelight engine was created in preparation for EQNext. Obviously SOE is triple-dipping.

    I don't think that means what you think it means.

    I disagree with the notion that they're double dipping games just because of those shared systems, that's all.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    EQNext was in development twice before, and all of the work got scrapped when they decided to go with voxels. When they decided to work with voxels is when they realized they had to make a bunch of brand new tools. When they realized they had to make these tools, that's when Landmark was...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Our outlooks at the development are opposite and make this very much a semantical argument. I am of the opinion that nothing from EQNext can be a hand-me-down to Landmark, because Landmark is the base in every sense of the word. No real world development can even happen for EQNext yet because...

    I wouldn't call it a conversation, more of an argument over semantics. Don't get your dick in a knot buddy.

    Can you explain why the built in Plex support wouldn't work for this? I use Plex to stream torrented shit to my TV all the time.

    If it's not what you meant to say then you shouldn't have said it. To be accurate, 100% of the actual development right now is Landmark specific. The fact that it will be used for EQN in the future is irrelevant.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    All of the tools and materials, sure, but there's going to be a ton of custom content created for EQN. To act like this is EQN's alpha and that it wont have its own separate, dedicated alpha is foolish.
  14. Lenas

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Not really... EQN is going to have its own alpha and beta phases. The two games are going to end up very different. You can go and download an entire Unity engine with entire world systems built into it right now but that doesn't mean two games both based in Unity are the same. The same is true...

    One would assume it's extremely difficult because they aren't using an already-defined engine like Unity or Unreal. They not only have to make this engine work, but they also have to design their own tools to manipulate it (and make them easy enough for us to use). It's actually pretty daunting.

    It's the only fight where the terrain can fuck you up, but it's also the only fight I can think of where terrain can completely negate 90% of boss attacks. IK only has one thing that can hit you if you're doing it right, and that one thing can be consistently dodged the exact same way every time.

    They have said in the past that they have some kind of solution for the copyright stuff and that it's pretty detailed... We'll see when they release more info on it. Think they mentioned it when they showed the business plan, and said that it was long enough to warrant its own document.

    Obviously he isn't because his statement is "Anything used for EQN" which means that it must be a contest winner within Landmark. You will not be able to take anything from Landmark and place it into EQN, it has to be SOE-approved.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Not necessarily, latest roundtable video made it seem like EQN building contest winners would just be commemorated with something like an in-game plaque. How would you charge royalties? Give someone money every time another person walks on their creation? That isn't sustainable.

    I have played offline since I started. I farmed the Giant Lord with ascetics, ~450k+ souls per run. Just kind of doing whatever I want on the PS3 since I'm gonna double dip and play it on PC for realz.

    Yep, you're pretty much missing the entire point. Players are not making EQNext for Sony; Landmark is a completely open game, genre nonspecific and open to whatever we want. SOE is going to use the exact same tools to create EQN, but the world is going to be strictly confined to Norrathian...

    There is a planned closed -> open beta claim wipe, but we are also expecting an additional claim wipe when caves/water get put into the game. Right now people are not expecting to lose anything related to progression from any further wipes.

    Seems keen eye bands are only useful for mining, rare trees like thistles always seem to give 4x special mats per tree. Use strength bands instead for faster chopping.

    The game performs leaps and bounds better for me since alpha during gameplay, but changing islands can be a painful experience now. Anyway, considering the amount of change we've seen since the start, I have a great deal of confidence in this game.
