I think we can do without more enormous shoulder pads

Levelling is needed for no other reason that to assign a numerical value to player power, so other players can recognize that player power for grouping purposes. If there are no numerical levels, how do I know the rogue in my party isn't doing the dps of a 'level' 10, when we want to explore a...

If they make the world large enough, and varied enough, as to not require instancing... Just take my money

So I'm level 12 now... Every time I play this game I'm logged in for about an hour before I realize I am bored out of my fucking mind and I have no idea wtf I am even doing. Oh, and my wrists feel the pain of a thousand tiny wolverines slashing my tendons.

You have the penmanship of a 12 year old girl.

One thing I think might be necessary for EQnext to feel really cool is making long distance travel really difficult/time consuming. I hurts me to say this, because I don't find much more annoying in an MMO than travel. I just feel like there needs to be a way to attach people to a geographical...

The only way EQnext will recapture the expansive and 'unknown' feeling of EQvanilla is if the world is truly dynamic. If googling tactics, maps, walkthroughs, etc means next to nothing. If one has to be deeply involved in the game's politics, economy, social structure and terrain developments to...

I don't think you have to play EQ to know it is not, and never was a sandbox... I quick browse of a wiki page would make that fact readily apparent.

The north eastern landmass looks like the south eastern tip of Faydwer (steamfront/dragonscale hills area).... But that continent to the southwest of it doesn't look like the eastern coast of kunark. Such a tease...

'First' is fucking underlined for christ's sake lol

Can we stop bumping this garbageserver thread? I'm sure Kegz will do it enough with his inconsequential update posts. It dropped to page 2 - let it die there.

Your statement works in a single player game, but in an MMO one is exposed to the knowledge of countless others you may be grouping with. Two days after release I don't want some tank leading me by the nose through a dungeon that he has read up on fully from leet beta infoz sites. I want to...

I may get owned on this form for saying this... But I pray this game doesn't have a beta that's open to the public. It'd be really nice if they just spent a couple (hundred) grand on paid private testers who were subject to confidentiality agreements until well into release (4+ months). And...

I was including character creation time - I'm a bit of a slider whore

Also, I AM HARBINGER OF DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Looking like Esper for me. Unfortunately explorer was the path I was most stoked to play, but their path abilities look pretty garbage compared to the others.

Well... I installed it and played for half an hour. That was the worst 30 minutes of gaming I have ever played. The combat, the visuals, the animations, the story... good god...

Pretty sure all classes are meant to be dual purpose, but we shall see.

I dunno. Maybe I'm being a bit alarmist for no reason, but it's only because something they said that I really liked seems to be untrue. I can't remember which video it was, but the guy providing commentary made a very specific point to say 'paths aren't about combat/killing MOBs, that's what...

but then why even put them in?

Ya, I'm perfectly aware of this. I'm not really whining, I just think it's a silly idea to tie abilities to paths, and contrary to their stated goals. The specifics of the abilities mean nothing really.

Ya, it's the shield I'm particularly concerned about. AOE 700% weapon dmg plus blind every 2 mins also seems a bit... much

agreed, was just an example

I only kinda agree. These paths are supposed to augment the way you like to play. Well, I like to explore. Cool. But now I have to have inferior healing/tanking/whatever abilities available to me because this is the way I like to play? Totally defeats the purpose of the system if you ask me...

Well, fail number 1 IMO. According to Beta Cakes, Paths have specific abilities/stat bonuses tied to them. So if you plan to min/max raid (which you will probably have to do, since they have stated they plan their 'Elder Game' to be quite challenging) be prepared to play a path that may not...

He's getting 45fps in Crysis 3

Troll.

Nah I don't expect him to release his super secret server population numbers. I don't even expect a reply to be honest. Unless he is telling me to 1. Join mumble or 2. That I'm a troll.

Less than 1%? What's your max unique IP population? I'm gonna be REAL generous and say 300. Less than 1% would be under 3 fucking people... There are 10 people in this thread alone complaining about the bugs on the server...

Who else is in Supremacy? I'm Wumpel, 22 Druid

early velious saw removal of hybrid xp mods iirc. They were totally dumb.

There is really only one reason to be rolling on this server over p99 at this point: the possibility exists to be one of the top dogs in the economy. Good luck ever affording a manastone (200kpp+), fungi tunic (75kpp) or fungi staff (last one auctioned went for 6mil pp, no shit) on p99. Hell...

I'd love to be in on this if the possibility exists

Excuse me? Trolls? Who the fuck do you think you are talking to? This board is comprised of some of the most seasoned MMO players on the planet. If a good number of them are saying that your server has issues, then maybe, just maybe, it does. You have a good project here, but it needed MONTHS...

Or fuck me, would it be so difficult to have MOB density change as player density goes up? Make dungeon bosses dynamic and (somewhat) unpredictable spawns? Can't we do better to ensure all players can enjoy the same content while playing together, than to totally segregate them?

I started playing last week, and I haven't seen an FOH related guild around that I know of. I joined a zerg invite guild called 'Supremacy' that seems to have a TON of lowbies levelling at all hours of the day. I'd send someone a tell for a /guildinvite. People, for the most part, seem to be...

Were you by chance boxing? I unfortunately was not. Solo xp is far worse than grouped xp on The Sleeper, so that could account for your differing experience on the server.

That figure was from 10 minutes after release (12am EST) on a Halfling Druid. About 3 hours later, they adjusted the xp rate up to a rate about 5-6x that. That same morning, around 10:30am EST, xp was again adjusted down to levels similar to release values. They continued to fiddle with xp...

Too bad many quit long before these changes (that should have been caught before launch)

Ya, that would be the plus of levelling so slowly. By level 9 I had 110p and all my spells up to level 19 pre purchased :P
