It's a big pile of meh if it is outside the world... Generally instancing anything is bad and here they're creating a bunch of instanced out-of-the-world content. The big selling point of a sandbox is that you can change the world. Not possible with instanced content. As for the PvP servers...

Well if they know they're only leaking droplets. Combat/destructible world are key mechanics that no one knows about. Then again, there was an interesting article on secrecy at Apple at Forbes or some other magazine - long story short, at Apple you never ask what someone else is working on, and...

Ut and Flip are missing way more than "some details" Re-review the videos. Storybricks doesn't mix well with old-style quests. though maybe you're right and they kludged them together. *shrug*

Nah. It's actually locked. There'd be more leaks and we'd know about combat mechanics for sure - it's been a year since the revamp. I'll bet Smed has flat out stated that if he's able to trace a leak to someone that person is fired and I wouldn't put it past Smed to float false info within SOE...

Quest system is all-storybricks all-the-time. Nope. Instanced PvP is a wasteland not a bonus. I'm totally fine with no PvP at all (EQ1) but if you're going to have PvP in a game it needs to have something to do with the game, not off in a corner. Completely unsandboxy.

What @Randin said. A PvE Sandbox without PvP of any sort is fine and EQ1ish; a Sandbox with full on or EVElight PvP is also fine. But any type of instanced PvP is retarded - especially in the age of the MOBA. It's not going to attract any players who like that sort of thing (they can just...

Pretty serious head fake by smed if true. Talk up sandbox and eve and deliver indistinguishable wow clone instanced pvp. Won't go as far as flunkle and write it off but instanced player content is not a sandbox. We will see on 2nd.

Please go back and re-read some of my posts. I've stated multiple times that if SOE produces a great game at release that game will eventually get nerfed/bad decisioned into a crap game - see Vanilla WoW/Blizzard. So the important thing, if the game is wicked, is to play as much as you can...

I'll ask about vendor diving if I remember and (importantly) have a chance - there's only one panel now. I think second question should come up during reveal. If they don't talk about crafting you know you're screwed. Post in the SOE Live Live thread whenever it gets started.

It will have EQ1 lore (mostly - some undoubtedly retarded changes) It will have VG/DCUO combat if it is actiony, or EQ1/VG combat if it is not. It will have EQ1/VG classes It will have VGish crafting. It will have EQ1 races (mostly - some undoubtedly retarded changes like kobolds) It will...

Nah. They'll rig the votes in Iowa/New Hampshire. The fix is in.

Doesn't look 14.

Pretty sure you're wrong on the EQ2 part. EQ/VG/EVE/DCUO maybe, but not EQ2, except for the china and silverware.

But hate tables are out and storybricks is in so that mob should still be pissed at you when you log back in.

They could leash with weighted AI. Pursue until X distance if this guy pisses me off by showing up univited Pursue until X+ Y distance if this guy really pisses me off by killing my dog Pursue forever if this guy is my archenemy and killed my daughter and wife

I don't think anyone had this powerhttp://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Precognition

Good point, I wonder what SOE did. Super long leash? Weighted priorities in storybricks AI?

Means leashing.

Quite the sad face. I'm sure we can all group up in beta from time-to-time...

Would agree but EQ was zones. EQN is seemless. Supposedly seemless and huge. Did you play VG? Huge world gets old running long distances very fast. Makes it hard to group. Portals everywhere are a problem but I'm not bothered by some early speed increases in the mid-teens as long as you've...

Going to have to agree with qwerty on this one flip. I'm one of the guys speculating not qwerty - I can't remember him ever speculating as to mechanics. And he's dead to rights: you only ever said two things: kobolds are playable and game will be released this year.

No. I can't remember if you're a crafter but if you are and if I bring the mats will you make me jboots? I'll throw in 10 PP.

We all like our vision of an MMORPG and the question is does enough of that vision show up in the particular MMORPG we're playing.

So are you going to spill details or what? @TeeKay kickin'!

World is huge, most things are crafted, people are going to flip out if they have to travel everywhere at normal speed (unless a bard or teleporter is around) and there will be mounts early on (think VG's level 10 mount quest). So I think it is pretty likely.

Utnayan will end up playing EQN in Live, make no mistake.

jboots are crafted in EQN. Not a drop or a quest.

And you crap gold...

Well said. Hope for the best, while still planning for the worst. Sure Smed and Georgeson are empty suits, but maybe the rest of the team has come up with something memorable that those two will proceed to take credit for ;-)

Oldschool GOP/GOP leadership (Boehner, Priebus, Cantor, Ryan, Tom, Dick & Harry) will do their best to sabotage him. You just watch. -_-

I am sure the people at Blizzard (except for the management) are not sleeping at night because they are updating their resumes. Between subs losses and the buyout heads are going to roll.

If EQNext has EvElike PvP there will be starting factions. Either SZ or TZ. I can't imagine them shipping with FFA PvP except on special servers, but could be I'm wrong and you're right. @qwerty 5 1/2 days

He's not designing anything in EQN as far as I know, but yes he is such an empty suit he is a concern. We can hope he confines himself to marketing. Nice gif.

Never give up hope.

There are many people who won't believe they're living in a police state until the police knock on their door and drag them away. When they see their neighbors dragged away they'll just say "they probably deserved it".

Okay I'll bite. Why the long face? @Dizzam thanks - I wonder how they'll faction out the major factions in EQN? Similiarly?

I kinda like deathnail. Good name for an SK or a Necro.

Speaking of PvP, what were the factions on Tallon Zek? Sullon Zek was Good, Evil, Neutral right?
