That's a problem with the crafting system in most MMOs - where previous tiers of resources are pretty much useless at the current or higher crafting tier. I think levels work. I think there's been games with too many levels (60 to start for WoW? Really?). VG would have been a better game if...

Re: levels Zehn, myself, Grave and a couple of others theorycrafted pretty much the exact EQN item/skill progression system years ago on the old 38Studios thread on fohguild. At the end, IIRC Zehn was in favor and I was opposed (Can't remember what Grave or anyone else preferred - RIP...

I want to beta EQN with you Sir. You've got the right attitude.

Why the Jimmies buddy?

I'm telling you SOE is well aware that EQN isn't going to suck a ton of their players from EQ1/2. They also know that EQ1/2 are both long in the tooth. You do the math.

No goes to comments I made earlier. Convo tweeted him So maybe we can get a "If you build it, we will come" from SOE. But to all those people who think Brad should be the Creative Director or a Producer on EQ3? Are you fucking crazy? Lead Designer, maybe. Just maybe. But nothing beyond...

Go see the Brad tweet. EQ3 is coming... Just after EQN/L, EQN, EQN/Moba.

Nowhere. I'm way in the back near the only free plug in that room.

That's cool. So from the picture: It seems like they can divide the tiers so: Tier 5 top: Tier5b:tier5c:tier5d raid? Or other silly combinations - but basically I don't see why not at the tier5 bottom level? If you're at a tier 4/tier5 on the surface seems like you've got to get...

Oh yeah. Aradune tweeted too. https://twitter.com/Aradune

Fedor:

Every freaking time the words 'fun factor' were used at SOE Live and elsewhere (as in this video) I want to pull my eyes out. I know they felt they had to come up with some other word than "Vision" because of McQuaid but couldn't they have come up with something better than 'fun factor'?

I told the dude: wait until you play in the beta against the combat AI before going nuts. I'd prefer EQ/VG combat myself but if the AI works out as designed almost everyone will enjoy this game for a while (me) and some people a long while (other people).

Fanmade Hentai with EQNext chick incoming on 4chan in 3.. 2..

Kingdom of Default!!!!

UI with painting tools. You can see the UI with character/weapons abilities on Butler's screen ->

They already showed off the glide boots so flight seems likely but the islands are all T3 or above, so going to take a while to get there.

I'm batting .675 how are the other guys doing?

Nah. Butler knows what he wants and that's what is getting made. Roundtable is smoke and mirrors to get players invested as mulligan said.

Yes they need some kind of in world pvp. Even on non pvp servers

Speaking of LOL. 50% confidence that soe is also making eqn/moba where you can import your eqn character into an eqn moba. Hopefully this is not only pvp and they put in pvp continent as has been suggested.

I was just thinking of the regenerating dungeons down below. Tiny suggestion seems to be random loot for those guys (pure speculation) and itemized loot for the authored content/RCs. We'll see.

I get a Diablo vibe as well from the pregenerated stuff. Not so much from the SB/RC stuff. Was it Ukerric or Lithose or Lenas who called it EQNdiablolcraft ? I wish I'd quoted that.

You are forgetting the MTG element and focusing too much on Pok?mon. They made it clear that some items you found would completely change your strategic possibilities. Like playing with or without five Moxen and a Lotus in your deck.

That's Darren McPherson/Talisker/Lead Designer. He was drunk at the pool party and four of us ambushed him. I swear Georgeson came over and pulled him away eventually because he was afraid Darren would reveal too much. Definitely the most approachable guy on the EQN team at SOELive.

The purpose of this game is PvE. -Quests (Authored Content) -Progressing Storyline (Rallying Calls) -Exploring regenerating content (Digging into the ground) -Hanging out with NPCs and developing relationships with them (SB Dynamic Content) Collecting classes is one method of advancing...

You can't stop the founding of cities, but you can slow it way down. They even gave the example of a server that simply wasn't progressing. There doesn't appear to be an AQ like auto-advance feature. I'm actually with you and prefer the - we can stop it entirely - but SOE wants its story to...

Exactly the vibe I got with the "Mos Eisley" comment. Founding Halas, Neriak, etc. etc. Neriak could be interesting because the "good guys" will be trying to stop the "bad guys" from founding it (well if SOE is smart and brings back Innoruuk for the DEs).

Did you or anyone in anyway see all of EQN coming? No. Me neither, and if you go back you'll see I predicted 60-70% of EQN and totally missed EQN/L. So clearly SOE is doing things differently with regards to this product.

Yes, they've done more. I don't know about a lot more. Crafting is almost completely done because it's going into EQN/L. I'm sure they're still working on the combat AI because they just hired the StoryBricks guys late last year (Oct/Dec? Not sure). So whatever the hell AI they were working...

I don't like Smedley but I think Butler's just the type of asshole who can get this shit done. I really wish they hadn't round filed EQ3, Butler would have whipped his team mercilessly until it was great. See my comment to Ut 20 pages back.

Because MOBAs and Minecraft are so not what the kids play these days?

I've already posted my guess previously: Oct 2014 to June 2015 +/- 3 months. So basically a window of a year. If you think I'm pulling that out of my ass, that's fine with me.

As was pointed out somewhere else, SOE is pulling a Blizzard. They are taking a bunch other people's ideas and wrapping them up in a nice package for consumers.

I'd say that any info I might or might not have was so up in the air because of the SP cartoon above that I might as well not have any info. But I'm pretty comfortable with saying prior to March 2016. I will add that the example of the "Founding of Halas" Rallying Call should have given you...

They specifically said they wanted to save some reveals for Gamescon, PAX, etc. Marketing wants a constant news stream, I'm sure.

Obligatory.

Your bird lied to you. Smack her a little.

They are revealing stuff at Gamescon and Pax. That's in like two weeks and four weeks. Or whatever.

Yeah if you're going to play this game, you kinda have to play on a PvP server. But I think all servers are going to be RP servers according to the SB boys.
