    You're out of luck for now. But they are adding arcanists that lead to summoner advanced job as the article pointed out so there's a chance for new jobs after launch

    Well pending some new amazing game coming out before this one, this looks to be my next major time sink of a game. I'm having a blast. I won't break the NDA because they're getting strict about it, but it's really like FFXI with better graphics and controls. Well the job system is anyways.

    MMO hardware optimizations (Or lack thereof)

    Laptop or desktop is fine for gaming as long as dedicated video cards remain the standard and not integrated graphics. Plain and simple, you can't expect to game without the proper hardware. Anyone expecting devs to cater gaming to any platform with no dedicated graphics ability is fooling...

    MMO hardware optimizations (Or lack thereof)

    Yes and no. Games like EQ2 only cared about clock speed an thus never stressed more than 1 core of a multicore CPU and barely used any of my graphics card because their engine used the CPU to process shadows etc. Newer games like Rift and AoC made more use of the graphics cards but did t have...

    MMO hardware optimizations (Or lack thereof)

    Actually, single player RPGs are a lot more demanding graphically. The witcher, skyrim etc push my system pretty hard so I'm guessing it wasn't wasted money after all.

    Everquest II

    Honestly, save your $$ or play a game with a proper future like WoW or Rift. This game is on the decline big time and only the most dedicated people are left. The end game is still not balanced, no risk vs reward at all. Shitty itemization. Seriously, save your $$

    MMO hardware optimizations (Or lack thereof)

    Why don't most modern era MMOs fully support multicore CPUs and GPUs? Games like EQ2 and WoW can be forgiven because they were created in an era where only single core high clock speed CPUs were the norm. But recent MMOs have been terrible at implementing new technology. DX 10/11 clients are...

    I just disagree here. Without that atrocious launch with tons of buggy content, VG would have succeeded. It sold a ton of boxes but box sales don't keep players. Polished, finished content does. VG still has better fleshed out classes, dungeons etc than 90% of the MMOs out today. So yes, a...

    Did you not read the interview? Have you not followed all the changes they've made? This is the polar opposite to what you're complaining about. The head of this game is down to earth and they are taking feedback in spades.

    Say what you want about console games but EQOA was the shit. It could have been better with more ram and textures but it was fun as hell. Controller>WASD any day of the week for movement.

    http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/02...d-mobile-apps/ Looks like limited PVP, chocobo as companions in combat, and a new class. The Arcanist is a buffing/debuffing/CC class with pet summoning abilities.

    I have sli 570s and if the game was using only 1 then I'm fine. The engine was smooth on the alpha servers any my framerates were consistently 40-60 at all times even with a lot of people on screen and spell effects.

    I totally agree on raid and progression mobs being instanced. But having a world big enough where guilds cant lock down contested mobs...is that even possible? I'd like to think it could be. I know these games aren't real life or anything but even with cars and such, travel still takes some...

    Those specs wont impress PC gamers, but games optimized for consoles will make some of our PC games look bad. If they can squeeze decent graphics out of systems like the 360/PS3 with 512 mb or Ram and weak GPUs, what can they do with modern hardware, with custom CPUs and GPUs and fast memory...

    If they do all that at 399.99 its a wrap and they're back to PS1 status in the industry.

    I get that travel can be tedious. But if the game is designed as a huge, open world sandbox type game, how do you prevent the power guilds from locking down all the content if they can just warp all over the world? What is your alternative?

    I'm usually a Nintendo fan, but I'm impressed. The graphics are far better then what the previous gen allowed. The specs are gonna make pc ports easier and not as dumbed down. All in all, I'm pre-ordering this.
