It is pretty funny no matter how silly and ineffectual the gold rush alaska guys seem just watch jungle gold and the hoffmans look like fucking geniuses and paragons of moral virtue compared to the jungle gold douches.

FTL is some of the best 9 dollars worth of gaming I can think of. If you like rogue like games at all this game is very enjoyable pretty well balanced and fun. And yes as in any game like this there is a chance you will simply get screwed from time to time but the more you play the more you...

I initially had some HORRIBLE luck shortly after quinns release that had me very negative about her. Lately I have been getting her in ARAM and honestly once you get used to her she is pretty decent. She is hella great for chasing down stragglers trying to escape out of a lost team fight turn on...

Oh god you just gave me flash backs of when my crazy guild monk wanted to power level us out in the red wastes area by the Grey zone line. He would go and scamper about collecting just about every damn mob in the zone and then flop at our feet and dump them on us as we frantically aoed the...

The problem with not doing the redline stuff like in the demo is basically how do you telegraph attacks well enough for players to be able to react to them without "dumbing it down". The old eq wow ways of doing it initially were no indicators or real telegraphing other than maybe a text...

I think most of what we are likely to see is probably going to be eqlandmark oriented at first basically showing off the game engine/building stuff. I believe they were talking about showing some videos of some timed building tests they were running internally just to show off what some body who...

Probably pretty reasonable guess of 2015 with beta probably next year. Eq landmark in theory goes live this "winter" and that pretty much is the world engine/building voxel stuff core of eqnext so that alone will be a huge beta test of the engine and how well it can handle lots of people around...

I messed around with the new xpac class at the soe live event I have to say its pretty nifty. The pet is pretty configurable and its a healer base class so nice in groups and the pet made soloing pretty reasonable. GAAAH ignore that sorry thought I was reading the eq2 thread my bad. Still did...

Which admittedly be hilarious. Can you imagine some guy who likes killing ambient rats and critters eventually going into a dungeon and having a tidal wave of rats come and devour him.

Seriously who cares if your drawbridge is bullet proof you have GIANT WINDOWS on the ground floor why shoot out a draw bridge when you can just throw a brick and walk through the windows.

Ya at the end of season two he was like white folk be crazy and went back to his people.

The ironic thing about the whole ninja question is if they have monks in eqnext as they did in eq and eq2 and you have multiclassing how long before you get a monk assassin, shadow monk or some combination there of that everybody is going to wind up calling the ninja build regardless if it is...

I remember trying to tell a friend who had made a halfling how to get to qeynos. Okay once you get into the scary goblin dungeon hug the right wall and RUNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! Kinda funny that two of the newbie zones pretty much had people running through dungeons to get to the rest of the world...

Very much this some ships are just a lot easier to win with than others. If you want a challange take the slug plan b ship. It is a boarding ship that lacks a medical bay or any real useful offensive weaponry. I have won with it but its a damn challange and you really need to get a bit lucky off...

Also it is good to have one missile weapon/bomb/teleporter if you are having problems with heavy shielding on a ship. Missiles/bombs ignore all but the initial zoltan shield which is easy enough to strip with any energy weapon. Target the shields and one or two missile hits is enough to gimp...

Note to these doofs if you really want to make a "doomsday" castle try not having gigantic windows on the ground floor of it.

HAHA that was pretty much me when I first got eq. My best friend was moving to florida and we had done muds and heard about eq which sounded like a mud but with actual graphics so we figured what the hell we would give it a try. Bought it went home and played the hell out of it. Logged back on...

I just don't know how you pull the raccoon off in a live action movie without the whole thing coming across as some bad joke.

Especially in an area with tons of demand for the equipment selling durable heavy equipment like this would not be that hard and you should get pretty much what you paid for it minus depreciation which probably isn't even that much given the long lifespan of those types of machines.

At the fan faire somebdoy asked about that and they said they have closely looked at equipment swaping tools such as the mods druids used in WOW and other similiar games and plan to build stuff like this into eqnext so swapping classes/gear won't be super cumbersome. Given how the weapons and...

From what they were showing depending on your class you can have movement powers/offensive powers/defensive powers and utility powers in the class abilities. The mix you can load up depends on the class as they showed the rogue had like two or three offensive powers and a utility in class...

This was one thing they talked about being modifiable via equipment modifying the efficiency/regeneration of these resources. So if you are a warrior maybe you need to equip some items to either make the lightning bolt more efficient so they can cast it with their minimal spell resources or...

I would bet money this is the main reason for them doing eq landmark. Really go nuts on the engine do everything possible to it using the most extreme building/destroying possible in a high population area and see how bad this makes peoples computers explode. Then use that data to adjust the...

This is the one sort of odd side of the system they seem to be aiming for. It looks like there is almost no reason to make an alt unless maybe right at the very begining of the game if you want to try out a couple different things initially as one character could/should be able to do pretty...

Yup and in theory given how much content the engine itself should be spitting out without the devs having to spend a ton of time doing it they should be freed up to add new classes pretty easily and probably even new races.

While it is still a long ways off and all subject to change for the moment really from everything I saw and heard talking to the devs at/after all the panels I think the classes seem pretty close to the Guildwars2 model with a bit more configurability. The biggest difference is eqnext has...

That would be correct from what they were describing. Each class would have two "weapons" that class focuses on and by weapons that could be a single one handed weapon/two one handed weapons/one two handed weapons/ or weapon shield. So say you want a dual wield character you don't have to worry...

Well guildwars 2 works pretty much the same way and seems to have plenty of personality between the characters.

The way they described the class stuff made sense at the panels. Basically your class really shows in the armor type you are using and the two wepons/weapon sets tied to that class. Many classes can use a two handed sword but if you look at the warrior and the storm guy their weapon...

Basically this was where they were talking about the challange of creating concept art for their early voxel engine. They were not sure how blocky blocky would be so they were told to make varients of the concept art from REALLY BLOCKY to pretty smooth.

I think one of their likely key sources of funds going forward is going to be the skim from the player studio stuff. Given the creation tools they appear to be giving to people there should be a gigantic market for people selling plans/designs of nifty things/buildings to people who have the...

From seeing it at SOE live and talking to some of the devs I think the class system will probably be fine. Think of it as a GW2 class system with more configurability. The main class abilities are all tied to the weapon set you are using. The second four slots are where the multi classing stuff...

Yes eqnext if they had crafting done in the vein of SWG could be pretty amazing. Given that there really are no "mining nodes" per se if you want oak wood find an oak tree and cut it down. If you want iron find a vein of iron and mine it. For the higher teir metals I imagine it is going to take...

This shows only factor in its favor was it would be a single season with it finishing up. If they try to string this out it is going to be even more boring than it already is I really don't see how this can keep up any interest even for the remainder of this season let alone stringing it out yet...

That would be my guess probably from pakistan.

One reason to do intermediate bots even at low level is the game lasts long enough to get a better feel of items and how they work. Beginner even for beginners often ends so fast you only have 3 items or so. I normally recommend people do the intermediate bots they are still beatable even by...

One thing I also recommend for getting used to smart casting is in the more options section of the options menue there is a check box for show targeting reticles in smart cast. What this does is when you push a button down the targeting for that spell shows up and releasing the button fires the...

One of the weird things I found with this game is it seems at certain levels when you unlock a new equipment slot you feel less powerful than the previous level. Since you cannot weed out unwanted cards I am having more and more issues with my warrior running around with nothing but moves and...

I think it is a priority just that they simply have no access to the tech needed to reerect the shield at this time. What they had was scavenged from an arc and they would need to find a similar one to put the shield back up. They basically got lucky to have it in the first place and probably...

I was thinking the same. Shit got real last night. Curious where they go next season with E-rep being in charge of the town I am guessing it is going to be about nolan/amanada/the mine owner guy getting the town to organize a resistance and kick out the E-rep.
