    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Seems like such a minor thing to bitch about (colored lights being shop-only). Oh no, I can't build my disco! I'm of two minds. On one hand, it's not nice to tease colored lights and then pop all but one (the generic white one at that) in the shop. On the other hand, we've known they were...

    I'm with you there. Edit: Satisfied with the story as it stands (Imp side at least). I hate that they have to break this up because I really want to see where it's going. I had a little chuckle on the initial landing of Korriban because it's in the one spot you spend a grand total of 15...

    Had two papers due last night so I only had enough time to run Assault on Tython. Pretty fun little Flashpoint and it was kind of cool to run through an extremely beat up version of what I knew to be the Jedi newbie areas. Second boss was that guy that gives the series quest to "combat test"...

    That's a system thing. I logged in this morning to add some time to my claim and it had the same message but for 4/10. when I added some upkeep it changed to 4/14. So basically it's just telling you the drop dead date for when your entire claim is getting packed up.

    Right, to build you don't need much to get started. And truth be told the progression aspect of the harvesting tools is better now than it was even a week ago. I spent a couple of hours just getting enough Thistle Seed for whichever ones needed it (I forget) because I just couldn't find the...

    I love the new Ground Target change. I have my huttball pass hotkeyed (Z) but always hated the process of doing it, especially if I was in the middle of a stunlock. Now I can just target someone and spam it until it goes off. And yeah, new Huttball is vertical so that should be interesting...

    Very little information about EQN is out there right now. We know bits and pieces but that's one of the finer details that'll likely come out closer to release. I've seen speculation (or maybe wishful thinking) that they'll link Landmark and EQN together for the purposes of providing the housing...

    Captain America: Winter Soldier

    Excellent movie. I think one of my favorite parts was when they're in the mall and BW guiding Cap through an avoidance of combat. Not a balls out action moment, far from it, but just one of many character moments that make this a very good movie. I cannot wait for Guardians.

    If you want to stay at Minecraft level building of structures then that's all well and good but in order to get the most out of the game you have to spend some time learning the tricks involved. There is a learning curve and a lot of it is experimentation. You kind of have to fight the engine to...

    I need to stop going to the showcase thread on the Landmark forums. I look at some of the stuff being done there and the only thing I can think of is that I'm like a two-year-old drawing with crayons in comparison.

    By their own admission Alpha was to get the basics in and develop a stable platform from which to build off of. They accomplished that and because of the players they now have a much better idea of what to do going forward. The two biggest things that are going to have the largest impact on...

    Cowboys are going to have to eat his cap hit next year which is going to be something like $20m. They build big contracts around the ability to restructure (most teams do) but there's always a point where they have to eat the hit or it gets worse and worse every year. That played into why Ware...

    That doesn't compute. All the smelter does is take 1000 ore and turn it into 11-13 bars depending on whether its superior, exceptional, or legendary. The only other difference besides the extra bar(s) per 1000 is the fact that it does it by the 1000 instead of by the 100 on the stone forge. If...

    Right, the advanced conversion tables just gives you more output on the back end. I've been doing a lot of building with my time so I've only been going out to harvest when I need a break from that so only on my second attempt with a mithril pick. I don't know how anyone could focus their...

    This is an exciting patch. New Flashpoints, new Huttball Map (long time coming), new GSF map, and nightmare mode for Dread Fortress. Pretty cool stuff overall.

    Sometimes it's the little things that are really cool. If you have this turned on, go mine something. It's a little thing, but it's pretty friggin cool if you ask me.

    Keeping up with alts has never been easy and I don't expect it to change anytime soon. The closest might be FF14 because you really only need one toon to get everything, but even that isn't easy to keep up with and requires some effort on your part. I will say that the easiest alt leveling...

    I'm sure there's going to be something resembling standards as well. Throwing a dirt column up on market is probably wouldn't engender the same interest as a hollowed out tower template and SOE would be silly to allow the former, mostly because it takes all of a minute to make one. Keep in mind...

    Right, they seem to want to protect the players as much as possible. As far as earlier, I'm likely wrong about the royalties thing (may have heard it bantered around at any of the numerous places talking about Landmark) but I still believe they are going to reward and/or compensate players who...

    During my brief stint on Pot5 I found the average play to be a notch above Ebon Hawk but the overall attitudes of people in the games was much much worse.

    Don't forget players will be able to make royalties off anything used for EQN, much the same way they can make money off things people buy in the Player Studio Store.

    They're already at a near bare minimum since they segregate server types. They could probably do one more round if they wanted to consolidate East and West coasts for each type but that would require a data center move to like Central time zone in order to keep the ping times down for everyone...

    Finished off the Item progression. Two greens but the green Mithril Pick ended up being very similar to my blue Cobalt Pick so no big deal. I never got more than a green on my Axes. Axe resource gathering is such a PITA too. I hope they expand the number of claims you can attach soon. I'm...

    For the non-55 Ops you're better off hanging out on the fleet and watching for when people put them together. Hardly anyone on TEH uses Group finder for the Ops, they form them ahead of time if they intend on doing 8-man (and then queue after), or just do 16-man which offers better overall...

    They'll stick around for a few more years. The state just sunk a few hundred million into the stadium (iirc) and I'm fairly certain the inner workings of that deal had the thought of Wilson's passing in the forefront of its creation.

    I believe they said they were going to wholesale template your claim so you won't technically lose anything as long as you have the room in your templates (which is something like 3m voxels worth of data).

    Mostly because the genre has plateaued something fierce here in the last half-decade. Small upticks when things seemingly have a new twist. Public quests (and variants), fourth pillar story, action-based gameplay, the Free2Play movement, etc. Things haven't really progressed. TESO has the...

    I'm actually somewhat appreciative of their baby steps approach. Rushing something is never a good idea and both caves and water are going to be key in formulating the idea of a "world". When Closed opens up I'll go through the process of getting my tools in order but probably won't lay a claim...
