I personally don't like a lot of single group camping. Break up the group, move on to the next, try to advance towards a goal. Splitting up a pack one at a time and then just sitting there waiting for the respawn? Boring as hell and not very challenging either. We want challenge right?

I like splitting up packs of mobs. I hate the thought of feign pulling. Talk about an abusive mechanic that was never intended. Let's get the gerbil wheel rolling guys! One at a time into the slaughter like a bunch of mindless lemmings. No thanks. Oh and no one here thinks an MMO will be...

Someone is needing some attention right now. Here ya go buddy! I just threw you a bone.

Talking about factions, I agree that the original EQ got it better than any game since. I loved the changing of 4-6 factions depending on who you kill. With some of the kills, you had no idea if that kill was a good or bad thing in the end. It adds to the game when factions aren't black and...

Yeah. I'll take a spare key from anyone as well.

Convo, you are the voice of reason.

Ding, ding, ding. Whatever helps to keep the economy and game healthy is always the better option.

Ugh, I'm just hoping Brad isn't wearing some of the rose colored glasses that are prevalent here.Some slight downtimeis definitely wanted in groups but 'watching the wizard's ice comets, shitting it up at a campfire, etc?" Fuck no. Mumble and other voice chat allows you to actually 'communicate'...

LOL, now we only have to sell this to Brad. C'mon Brad! There's trannies in your Planescape world. You know there is.

Good to see some updates.

Lol, where do I sign up?

Perfectly valid stance.

Shows 900 left for me.

I'll take key.

I think hearing Etchazz being a whiny bitch and a regular person having doubts about pre funding are completely different. Etchazz has shit up every other gaming thread forever bitching and moaning about going back to EQ roots. Now that pussy is whining that he needs to see finished product...

I believe that's exactly what he is planning but what has he done the past 6 months? If I wanted another one of my MMOs funded and I needed a nice KS to show consumer support, shouldn't it look better? Shouldn't I have researched KS just a teeny bit?

The problem is why didn't he see that before he actually hit the 'finish button'? From what I've seen so far, this is the people's Vanguard funded by diehards and half- assed to the finish line. This KS was completely half-assed (being generous).

The biggest problem is Brad left SOE 6 months ago and had this as his eventual goal. Did he not research KS at all since that was his funding source? Did he not see how other ones are made? Because his tiers are beyond awful. He has offered no other KS any money at all. Next point, knowing you...

Nope, felt the same way and that's why the primary support is either $45 or $150. I'm set for $45 myself.

Yeah, this thing needs more time and a bit more work before they try to KS it. I'm on board with SK and necro domination as well.

Really sorry to hear that Ut.

I've already played EQ and enjoyed it.

Lol, Dumar's over the top ' this is only for badasses'! And only a few badasses on this forum are smart enough to tell Brad how to design his game! Shit cracks me up.

Exactly. Most of our holidays are celebrated near equinox/solstice patterns so just make a game themed holiday with unique celebratory events. You could even have some darker holiday themed activities for DEs, etc. Like sacrificing Itzena's in the hope of gaining your deity's approval? Seriously...

Lithose, Great post and, as a part-time MtG and LoL player, I love the ability for a developer to provide such an environment. Everyone gets unique, everyone is powerful in certain situations, and hopefully everyone is having a blast playing the game. Not to mention that once these unique...

Tad, My real hope is that they remove raid restrictions. I wouldn't mind if you weren't quite as useful(make me useful some at least!) if they just needed to fill spots. Once you just need that req, there's a lot more leeway. I think a good designer may not perfectly balance anything(who...

Good post but I hope they also get some raid abilities or spells that are useful because no one really gives a shit if you can fly like the winds while they are raiding and you aren't(just an example). How many Rangers loved the early game and realized later that they fucked up? How many...

FiFY.

Lol, but what was I going to do with those cute pics Convo? Waste not want not my friend.

I'm so glad someone has finally allowed the possum race into MMOs! And they get to be the amazing FD pulling class who can now wear armor! Thank you Brad! This is amazing news and FD pulling has now been vindicated as an awesome addition to gaming!

I really like this idea. Make DPS about the same for everyone and allow for versatile skills and abilities to define your class. You aren't a wizard and your primary reason is quick burst damage and ports. Let's add some damn versatility. You are not a monk and your only reason for existence is...

This is what I should have said lol. I don't mind either of these things if the designers do a good job.

Not much but he did have to socialize a bit more than that guys soloing one right after another. And after this game has been out for a while, I have no problem with super twinks. I'd love to have a stud whipping through a pack of 20 gnolls at some point. At some point is the answer for me though.

And that's the limited kind of twinking I like. I said that I like some amount of twinking but stuff like the Fungi went too far. I also liked that early EQ gear was so poor that even plate armor was valuable at some point. Gear with just a few stats had real value. There's a difference in...

WTF did you earn? Man I just lit that motherfucking named 15 ghoul with my badass level 60 and Fiery Sword of Preening dropped. My level one warrior is going to be so bad ass! I earned this shit! Time to go camp another level 15 named that low levels groups could be fighting instead. But I'm a...

I'm all for environmental damage and weapons breaking. I love falling through pits, trap, stc. I want to die from falls. I want weapons to break so I have to find a smith(PC).

I like this idea. I like twinking but it has to be limited and managed. As we talk about invalidating content and shrinking the world, twink gear is almost as bad as flying mounts. The camping of certain spots, the handholding this gear stands for, and the basic devaluing of early content...

This is a very valid option. Let's expand it a bit further. Most mobs especially later would make the horse unmanageable and it basically throws you if you don't quickly dismount. If you dismount, you can't just tend to the horse and fight mobs. So the horse will run away. If thrown, you take...

Great post! PvP should add an element of danger and test your skills. Nothing tests the skills of a high level character who camps lowbies. There is no sense of danger to either party since everyone knows the conclusion in short order.

I like Ponytail too. He really does love his job and therefore these projects. I'm glad he will be working on EQN for the next few years and can't wait to see what he finally pulls off. This is by far the most ambitious game coming out and it's about time someone had the resources and fortitude...
