Eh. Rose colored glasses. But whatever. The same could be said of much of the discussion on this board - such as this very thread on Brad and his new MMO.

He was okay a few years ago. But he's really off his rocker with eqbrowser. I wasn't joking about him going schizoid. His obsession is beyond normal - also he basically destroyed fohguild forums.

Okay, then please explain again how a skill-based system or equivalent (e.g. EQN's multi-classing) which will have max 4 FOTM builds is better than a class based system which has 16 unique classes. Because I don't get that from your post. -_-

I thought it was agreed by all that talent trees were bad? Instead of a talent tree allowing a priest to be a necro (Vanilla WoW) you should have a Priest and a Necro class. With respect to the discussion of uniqueness - you completely missed my point. All the multiclassing BS of EQN is...

Yeah I don't think it's going to work the way SOE thinks it will. At the end of the day, some abilities are going to be mo' betta so you'll find 90% of the people playing that base class (say Warrior for tank - hypothetically) with the odd class ability from something else to round out the...

Thank God we're talking about Plutonium 238. I was worried we hadn't given the NSA quite enough key words to have them track this forum ;-)

I honestly think Tyen's gone schizo. Won't be long before his eqbrowser starts talking back too him.

Agraza, I disagree with you 98% of the time (like Zehn) but you're not stupid (like Zehn) so I don't mind arguing with you even though it's mostly pointless.. What you're missing here is that meaningful choice is necessary for "unique" characters. Yes, I know that you know that I know that no...

Decisions have to have consequences or they're pointless. Butler & Co. miss the whole point of RPGs. The solution isn't making everyone be everything, it's designing classes that matter. So players don't regret their choice. Fucking ridiculous. Edit: Basically they're blaming it on the...

I thought the story on 7 was that it was a shit architectural design that really wasn't designed for 47 stories and they didn't want to cause panic because there are other shit architectural designs in NYC. IIRC, there was a PBS special on a building in midtown that would collapse in a Sandy...

It's all about the benjamins (and management). Brad can pull it off if he gets the money and management other than himself. I will write it off if he starts NewCo with himself as CEO. That just can't end well. Call it the difference between INT and WIS. Brad has a decent INT but showed a...

It's time for...

Good. @Agraza you can google up the Texas kid pretty easily.

They were very hazy probably because they didn't know themselves.. The multi-group stuff seemed to be like a Fear Break. Not a raid on a Dragon.

What is Speech but the expression of Thought? Sure there is: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or...

Progression servers do pretty well for SOE, especially for the first year or so.

If it's Vanilla WoW clone, I'll still check it out.

Vanilla WoW was better until it wasn't. And yes, they said no EQ style raiding, but there will be multi-group content (example of Crushbone with 100's or 1,000's of Orcs depending on who was asked). Instanced raiding sounds like it'll be DCUO style - maybe 12 peeps if we're lucky.

I take it you've bought into the FBI/NSA civilian surveillance then. Unless somebody is going around buying ingredients for a fuel-oil bomb or equivalent WTF, they get to think and assemble as they want, without suspicion and without interference from the government. Anything else leads...

Who the fuck cares about Free Speech, Free Thought and Freedom of Association, amiright? Good to see another Brown Shirt here on RR.

http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/358624 Good news. You too can eventually be termed a terrorist by the FBI!

It must be the money (coming from SOE). Let's ride with Brad McQ.

With one exception my best PvE experiences were in VG or EQ. PvP early AV and even AB when it was first released. I bash WoW a lot but Vanilla WoW before Blizzard decided they couldn't ever be wrong, was very fun. If Blizzard ever releases a progression server that had old AV I'd play for a...

The game isn't worth playing except in a static group so you can do the dungeons. Also, you should only ever start in Tanvu. Far and away the best of the starting areas.

Todd Masten/Nino.

@whoever asked ages ago. I'd kick in $50 for the kickstarter for this if and only if it was goint to be a sub-based game and someone other than Brad was CEO/Chief Ass Kicker. @Convo & Furious - I will grant that one way for this game to actually get finished is to use EQNL tools to build out...

Roundtables killed my interest (as noted). They were all beyond stupid.

We reached that conclusion during the reveal. Yes, it's a bad thing. They've created a game that won't hold the interest of MMORPG gamers long-term but also isn't likely to appeal to much to non-MMORPG gamers long term. Should be hugely popular for a few months though. OTOH, EQNL should be...

Yeah I remain meh on EQN and on this project for completely different reasons.

That's the best part of any MMORPG. It's clear that Butler & Co. got the wrong message from WoW. They think people want to only play endgame, but WoW was best in early-mid Vanilla when it had the longest leveling - and thus longest character progression time. Even with it's annoying quest-hubs...

I'd be more interested if Brad hadn't made it clear already that there's a tie back to SOE. Until Smed goes, SOE is a lost cause.

Original VG had pretty slow leveling and a decent death penalty so I think those made it in - the XP curve was then abandoned by SOE. VG quests at start were fine because it was much less go to this area at 30, this area at 40, etc. There was a lot less direction, and a lot more...

One of a bazillion google hits: http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/23/st...wind-turbines/ Or you could have, you now, just googled it yourself

By all accounts EQ Design Doc and EQ Vanilla were pretty close. -_- But Brad does get the old cheese for VG.

Nothing has done more to turn me off of EQN then the retarded roundtable questions. Good Job Omeed & SOE Marketing!

I'm conservative which properly means protecting the environment in addition to standing athwart history and is yet another reason I find the current GOP leadership beyond useless. I actually agree that we should encourage other energy sources - particularly nuclear. But not when we're stuck...

John Wayne original is superior. Agree with you about the '76 IotBS Major agreement on The Thomas Crowne Affair and Ocean's Eleven. Better: Heaven Can Wait ('77) - Remake of Here Comes Mr. Jordan. Batman Begins/Dark Knight - Better than the Tim Burton's Batmans and original TV series...

As we all should know, he co-wrote the EQ design document and was then moved up to producer, so the boot's just trolling. Brad gets to keep his credit for EQ. Now with respect to VG, my understanding is a lot of Brad's initial ideas were eventually thrown out and he gets a lot less credit for...

Bad Troll is bad.

The computer sketch was great and the substitute teacher sketch was worth it for the "Chess/t club" bit. I also liked the Le Miz parody. Not thrilled by Luther and Prez this time around.
