Because you have to accomplish ______ to gain _______ and get more powerful, obviously that the is the same as camping in a room for 10 hours grinding exp for arbitrary survivability and skill increases. The difference is between someone that plays a game to be a character and enjoy the world...

Mostly because the "NPC" was being controlled by a dev and not the AI.

Easiest way of handling it would be to have global loot tables for procedurally generated content based on tier. Problem solved. Simply a response to you admitting that your presence in this thread is useless.

Except you have no evidence or even hint that the loot will be randomized in any way.

Well get unrustled BIG FLEX cause they said you can intervene. You can slow the progress but you can't ultimately stop it.

I hope that on EQNL launch day the community comes together and starts a project to fully recreate every favorite dungeon from EQ. Upvote them and petition Sony to put them into the world. Would be great.

Can't and aren't are two very different words and I think maybe you should look them up. You don't blow your entire content load at the alpha reveal.

You seriously think SOE is designing a game with no long-term interest or goals? This is the company that dreamt up Vex Thal keys. They know how to steal your hours away and I don't think this game is going to be as easy as everyone assumes it will be just by the number of classes.

Yeah but that realistic male is gonna look like shit in a couple of years and the stylized characters will still look great. lol same thought at the same time

Found a dracoliche guyz

Were they? Are you referring to the Chetari/Paebala or something else?

Well, in all fairness that npc was being controlled by a person (confirmed during an interview or panel). I'm just saying, don't be surprised if they show something like that later on. They didn't show an interface either but that doesn't mean the game isn't going to have one.

Yeah but that just determines that there's physics involved. Not exactly the same as Wildstar's system, where you see an outline of your attack before you do it, so you can aim properly. Looks very similar to the way the void knight's attacks looked.

Wondering if it's going to have a "free form" targeting like Wildstar after watching the combat video a couple more times.

They said that attribute gains are going to be really rare and difficult to get. They also said that every stat will help no matter your class. Example given: +1 Str may make you jump higher, or Int on a warrior may increase your weapon swing range.

Gear has no attributes. Attributes are rare and hard to get. Gear has modifiers like -10% movement speed and set bonuses.

They specifically mentioned the Flowing Black Robes as an item that would be returning for nostalgia purposes. Not much more than that. Until you find the poopsocker that has enough money to blow on unlocking all 40 classes at once for instant godmode

Probably not far off. I wouldn't be surprised if multi-classing in general was locked behind a pay gate. Switch classes whenever you want, but if you wanna mix, you gotta pay!

I'm calling bullshit on EQ1 play styles being different for most classes. If you were a melee you would auto attack and mash kick. If you were a caster you'd /assist and Alt+1-4. The only different play styles in EQ1 were very specific classes and I'm sure SOE can manage to make something...

It's not like they believe they're working on somethinggood.

You are wrong. You MUST be wrong. If all class abilities were homogenous, no one would have any reason to multiclass and the entire model would fail.

They are going to have custom animations per class so one would also assume races each have unique animations aside from that.

At $120, no, but I'd preorder today at $60.

AI should be a pretty simple thing... Just set up NPC's to use an if/then system like FFXII's gambits and set em loose. Add another layer for sub routines and you're golden.

Surprise!

Yes freely, but each class is restricted to only using 2 or 3 weapon types. Rangers for example may only be able to use longbows and short swords.

Sounded to me like every class gets unique attacks from different weapon types. A ranger and a rogue will have different skill set using the same weapon.

Everyone makes it sound like unlocking classes and getting tiers is going to be a walk in the park, like you're just going to expect anyone to fill any role. Knowing SOE there will probably be a ton of timesinks put into class tiers.

Feathers are the only blades that don't tear up my neck going certain directions. Really great.

That will probably be a large community project, complete recreation of EQ1 zones and dungeons within EQNL.

Yes there are going to be different tiers of depth limiting what you can reach before your tools need to be upgraded. A way of locking harder content so people don't screw themselves. Something like this may also force people to work on crafting if you need to make your own Tier 3 Mining Pick.

I disagree, I think EQN has the potential to stretch story lines out for years. Rallying calls can be extremely easy to conceptualize, and they only really need to implement the seed and the world is supposed to take it from there. They could easily plan out years of city building and slow enemy...

Fuck you, I'm still playing EQ thirteen years later. We all know how casual that is. Get the fuck out of here you whiny faggot.

Rolx you are being a gigantic pussy.

There are 8 gods. Luclin/Drinal have been combined. Looks like we wont have the sub-deity convolution that EQ1 has.

Religion: gods are a tangible influence, not standing around as raid targets No one has seen a God.

"NPC's will figure out your tactics and react"

Already confirmed CS isn't gonna allow dicks and stuff, doubt anyone will want to waste time gathering materials just to have it deleted
