They need their MMO houseboats, what can't you understand? It's a house AND a boat.

He's probably a nice guy in person, but comes across as such a hack/tool on Reddit; I guess that means he's doing his job, right?

What if you're chasing a wounded mob? Does that count as a "fight" if it takes 45 minutes to finally bring it down?

I will clarify. I don't want 45 minute fights all the time. Once in a while, when it is interesting, particularly where you are sub-optimal (less than a max group, less than an optimal group makeup) such that if you manage resources well you can win the fight, if you don't manage them well you...

Disagree. Long fights can be very interesting - managing your resource pools to (for example) be able to heal before the tank gets hammered. Goes back to earlier discussion that combat should be more about resource management.

Hacking questions were asked of devs at the Dev brunch. They hadn't heard of Macroquest or ShowEQ. They being Butler, McPherson and Michaels. That doesn't mean other devs in the EQN group hadn't heard of it - but the top three gave a collective "What's that?"

Smed's last 4,000 tweets have been about the DOTA2 championship instead of the AAA title his company just announced 9 days ago. That says everything about Smed and why I lol when Ut starts raving about how the problems at SOE are with everyone but Smed.

This. @Hekotat - holy shit, yes.

Eh. That'll just lead to BS like banning Ut again. If a dev wants to post on this board he should realize a shitstorm is coming and put on his flame retardant - mmorpg has a ton of people screaming EQN sucks so if McPherson can post there he can post here. Except here the reasons for our...

That's a big concern :-(

The only thing worse than mods are hacking programs. EQN could be the bee's knees but if it allows hacking it will suck the life out of the game.

Better yet, apply for the AI jobs at StoryBricks and get us into the beta.

I personally try to include words and phrases like "nuke, AQ, attack, Durka Durka Jihad and fuck you NSA analyst I hope you die in a car accident on the way home from work" in all my calls, emails and even occasionally on this board. Just want to do my part to help them.

I'm going to disagree. https://twitter.com/Celestian_GC/sta...43772619603969 SB is going for glorious...

In EQN the hardcore will do all the initial digging into various top tier areas and casuals will follow the just made paths down because they don't want to be bothered with digging through Tier 2b. So you'll dig a tunnel to Tier 2c or break into Tier 3 and your hardworn path will suddenly fill...

FTFY. Who knows mayhap the glorious EQN Combat AI shall save us all: the inebriate masses, such as myself, or Seal Team 3.

Well that's enough troll time today. I don't think Booz Allen is getting their money's worth with you though.

Not at all, I'd love for our government to stop going full authoritarian and hiring plants like you to troll boards defending their actions. You didn't post anything between 2-20-2013 and 8-02-2013 and you immediately started shitting up this thread. But nice try.

Lol. Bush jumpstarting the NSA surveillance bullshit doesn't free Obama from his responsibility for continuing and expanding the NSA and Government surveillance of US Citizens. At this point I don't see a hell of a lot of difference between mainstream Republicans (Boehner/Bush/Ryan) and...

Fact is you jumped on this thread and started spreading FUD. Fact is the USG is paying for folks to do just that. Even chaos hasn't gone as far as you. Fact is you're a fucking NSA/Contractor plant. Nobody else would sit around and spew the shit you're spewing otherwise.

FTFY How much is Booz Allen paying you?

That's how I read it - an early point in the powerpont was that AI can be too good (for example go straight for the healer) so they wanted the AI to occasionally make mistakes, or get stubborn (keep targeting the guy in front). Just like a human might.

Zergs will be even better if there are Tier 4+ underground raids - with luck you'll be able to walk over the corpses in the lava.

Orwell was 30 years off. Good to see Soysauce and Chaos are doing their part to spread FUD on rerolled.

Did you mean gald you're not the only one checking out the gonewild subreddit or something else? I assumed every healthy straight male checks that. /derail I don't know how anyone makes money with porn these days with shit like that.

Watch that chart show up on Reddit in 2 hours. ;-)

They said that, but they also said raid sizes would be "smaller" only way (edit: I can think of) for the second to happen is through instancing.

From Dave Marks:

I thought you knew. There are some very limited instances in EQN - exactly where? They won't say, I am just guessing it is used for raid dungeons. The vast majority of content is persistent in-world (or non-persistent in-world if we're talking about the magic regenerating content) so isn't an...

Sure in the EQMac thread, IIRC. The action combat in EQN could be seen a long way off - so I don't understand the surprise some people had.

Two words. Instanced raids. Except for a few overworld competitive (single) raid mobs. They have said instancing is in game but have been coy about where it is.

Seems plausible I can see the tier 5 mace having the lightning proc like the stiv or wtf weapon is in lol. Hadn't really thought about mob abilities or hp. Who knows, I await the combat doc with unease.

The best(?) source is probably Dave Mark's page o' html crazy:http://www.intrinsicalgorithm.com/He's the Combat AI consultant for StoryBricks.

I don't know. I like the trinity because it enforces roles. The only combat I could see as better is if the combat AI was tweaked not to be naturalistic (wtf that means eqn as tf?) but instead tweaked to act like an actual non-dick dm to use kruegen's expression.

They are not talking about it yet.

Well we would challenge them too much since we know the game is currently smoke and mirrors. Easier to chat with redditors.

I don't mind the model, I don't like the armor. <thundercats>

I generally just check out the gone wild subreddit. Reddit is meh. I only read the eqnext subreddit because of the combat posts. Much better discussion here generally.
