Having known children, wives and friends of people who have done something similiar - I'm going to go with screw him. Suicide screws them all up, especially the kids. Tolerance of suicide is not a good thing.

Was she terrible? With all due respect to Polygon there are a lot of terrible people in the industry who don't know what the hell they're doing but somehow managed to get to the game designer or manager level. Dumar might have mentioned something about that sometime, somewhere.

That's too unwieldly. How the hell do you find anything that's not actually on the paper doll? I assume each loadout is both a base class/ability and itemization load out. Which could indeed get ridiculous. They'll sell loadouts in batches of 20.

I don't know man - the problem with corpse runs for me is that these days I can't stay up until 3am to go on an extended corpse run if I fucked up or if a buddy screwed up. I actually liked the VG compromise. You could always get your corpse back, but at an XP loss that hurt. So if you...

One area where I've always disagreed with Zehn and others is that I believe you can mix hardcore and casual elements in a game. An example I'd use is this: allow players to choose one of three XP curves when leveling - a 10% faster leveling but subject to corpse runs and XP loss, including...

Doesn't PS2 have a sub model? Anyone? Bueler?

In part because of the FTP model, they have to make it easy to get in. There can't be a "hardcore" EQ3 or whatever without a subscription model.

Well, as you know technically hybrids like Paladins or Druids are multiclassed - but you traded greater solo utility for being not as good as the pure classes on a raid. The problem with modern multiclassing is there is no tradeoff.

Yeah a center for ants.

I lean toward this because of how it altered your gameplay as a monk in EQ but switching between roles in VG was so freaking convenient given the original slow travel that I'm now okay with multiple paper dolls but I'd like a better reason (you've got a bag of holding, blah blah blah).

Ithiosar flies to ruined city after fall of Bastion. I'm pretty sure the dragon says just that in the first story. Edit: Beaten by Lleauaric.

Natives are restless. Need more info Sony.

Magic and/or smoke and mirrors

Pirates and Ninjas should be exclusive. Just like SK and Paladin.

@Aladain Loadrunner. @MacCheese I'm pretty sure I played that game, but can't remember the name for the life of me.

A good place to start ->

Eh. They're both okay. Not quite Fritz Leiber but certainly readable.

All I'm getting from this novellas is that old EQ kobolds are now called Phyxians.

Just say Disneyworld. It's okay. You're amongst friends.

Lol. This discussion again. You missed the 20 pages on this a few days back I'm guessing. Also another week gone bye and no combat doc.

Exactly. There's no need to invent new elemental gods, rename Bristlebane and etc. It's not like the Seraphs have to be just 9 gods, or wtf. It's like the Chewbacca defense, it just doesn't make sense and it's also a bit of a kick in the nuts to the RPers.

What AV were you playing? Early AV, was one of the best parts of Vanilla WoW until every Timmy was 60 and they started nerfing it hard. Training what's his face from the graveyard into the alliance never got old.

This made me laugh for some reason. We will see if anything new shows up at Gamescon, I think PAX will be limited to press interviews.

That's right buddy. Who needs any sort of consistency or continuity right?

It's more about whether or not the game is Everquest.

I don't mind some changes to the lore it's the fact there are so many of them that's the problem. Nothing wrong with a little simplification but this is a little crazy.

The heart just adds that extra... "I'm going to kill you but in a sweet loving carebear way". Nice.

Exactly.

Better<Red Panda Pirates>

https://www.everquestnext.com/downlo...e-teir-dal.pdf We've got some story and a bit of lore.

It's all about continuity. If they're going to call it an EQ game they have to have some continuity. I'm willing to give the mthe benefit of the doubt (against my better judgment) on the mechanics but not on a retarded storyline.

Dude they were twisted by Innoruuk which explains why they're blue, like being SK's and Necros and living underground. There's no good reason for any of that in EQN lore.

They've revealed enough. The godlore is terrible. No Innoruuk? Dark Elves are just a caste of Elves? That shit has to go. Star Trek was a reboot. As Dahkoht said it's more like a curb stomp. A major purpose of lore in a reboot is continuity - Kirk is still Captain. Spock is still a Vulcan...

I'm still holding out hope for a South Park MMO

Eh, I'll go further than that. As designed it'll be great - it's freaking Diablolcraft + possibly eve. It's just the fucking misuse of the IP that's driving me nuts. Mangling what Furious said earlier, if this wasn't called EQ I'd be all fanboi about it. Edit: It's like getting a bagel...

I'm done with "realistic" stuff until we get the honest-to-God can't differentiate between real and CGI visual effects. Sometime in the next 20 years if we don't get hit by an asteroid. Until then I'll take Pixar/Disney/DreamWorks.

It's interesting to read the blog about that video - it covers the problem with voxels: http://procworld.blogspot.com/2013/08/lean-trees.html Small things and thin things are difficult and small things and thin things that are close together are almost impossible.

I am not EQN's biggest fan, but tbh I have no problem with EQN's look and I mean both the girl, lion-o and the foliage. Only lion-o's armor was over the top. It's probably because I saw Vanguard's character graphics age before my eyes from sweet (2007) to meh (2010).

At least Fansy will be happy: the Good Guys won.
