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

Oceans aren't in yet. Apparently voxel fluid is a tough thing to get right.

ITT: endless stream of sand from qwerty's vagina

If they don't have Tunare in EQN I might break some shit.

Good point, but maybe twinking will have to be done through crafting items, which are supposed to be just as good as most drops.

Yeah twinking is kind of irrelevant when gear doesn't have stats.

As I read I was wondering if you wrote it, haha His ass must hurt

Tiers are just levels that you get from accomplishments instead of exp

Um.. specifically says NOT 2 factions or 2 sides

"Talked to lead game designer at pool party for a bit, here's what I learned"

Many people are definitely going to have to crank down the graphics but probably more because of the lighting than the voxels. Though I'm almost positive you'll be able to lower the density of destroyed objects/particles.

Will be the first expansion feature, make your own dungeons/story lines. Been open since after the announcement speech, available from the website homepage.

I'm hoping for Davis as well but don't see it happening unless his striking has gotten exponentially better.

Since Tad has confirmed no oceans yet, probably a safe bet that Iksars will be integrated into Antonica in some fashion.

They said some areas are permanent damage, but I'm assuming shit like newbie areas will probably heal up quickly.

Because there is no exp in the game.

They obviously can't do an exp penalty on death, but I'm hoping that we see the return of corpse runs. Force the players to respect the world you've created, and you create better players.

1) Enemy AI was not turned on for the demo, hence why the goblins just stood there 2) They aren't talking about death penalties yet, but they did say there'd be one

Unless you fuck yourself out of a certain class by your actions andreallywanna play it.

You can still do things like that, though. Except now instead of just being super powerful and steamrolling mobs to get corpses, maybe you're one of the only tier 5 rogues on the continent with Stealth of Shadows. You're still a badass and you still save the day, you just might not do it by OHKO...

Fair enough. I still love the idea of keeping content challenging no matter what tier you are, though. One of the worst travesties of EQ's existence is that so many of the great zones that we all came up in are barren wastelands now.

Tad said they would be smaller, like 24

Not really.. I didn't get interested in facerolling old content until I was 60+

Except that didn't happen until a few expansions in and EQ was great before that. If you want a god character go play Final Fantasy. EQN ain't for you bro.

I think you will just have better tools at your disposal. AOE snare wouldn't mean I could single handedly kill 100 orcs in Crushbone. A volley type attack doesn't mean that I'm going to have a ton more HP or tanking ability.

Yeah that's another cool thing, every stat is a benefit to every character in some way. I expect that the tier locks will not be due to monster strength, but probably will be due to abilities you'll need to beat the encounter. Like maybe AOE mez is a tier 4 enchanter spell, so you'll be fucked...
