    I can't speak for anyone else or myself after EQN reveal (if miracle of miracle it actually looks good instead of some godawful arpg bs - cross-fingers+knock on wood+spin around 3 times) - but I've said for years that I'd give Blizz my $15 bucks a month if they had a vanilla progression that...

    +1, Similiarly FD should work great against smart mobs but shouldn't really work against many animal mobs. They may stop attacking you, but if they're hungry and carnivores or omniovres they should continue to "eat you" causing damage.

    Not if they need a group and the less efficient guy is the one who's available. That bullshit only works when you can be picky (small raid sizes, no need for leveling in dungeons, etc.) and is only necessary when you have to be picky (small raid sizes).

    I wouldn't say battle lines. It's about people who want EQ+Action RPG Combat, people who want EQ+VG Combat and people who want EQ+EVE PvP/Player-Content. The EQ+EVE people can probably get along with either the ARPG or VG people but vice-versa isn't usually the case (PvE v PvP).

    You get to choose your spell slots and how to play your character. Otherwise gear and yes AAs Whenever they become available - remember that AAs are available pre-maxlevel in EQ. I'm not adverse to platformer elements in an MMO - i like the idea of the rogue who scales a wall to get into a...

    Talent Trees, Rift Souls and all that other bullshit remains bullshit. Specific Roles, limited selection of abilities (no eyesore UI). The only thing that needs to change is OT/DT targeting.

    It's not appropriate for an MMORPG. If people want an action MMO go play Wildstar, PS2, TESO or whatever has that shit.

    That's what haste items and weapons with procs are for; no need to over-complicate things. You keep classes relatively simple and have fun with the equipment.

    EQ Monk - was all about postional pulling - how close could you get to Mob X (or X & Y) w/o aggoring Mob Y (Z) and then where do you FD to split blah blah blah. Also, I'm not adverse to rogue damage being positional - hamstring if near feet, backstab, back, blah blah blah. But needs to be very...

    Dude, if EQN completely flops we are fucked for a good MMO for the next ten+ years - I'll we get is more of the same failed WoW-clones. So better to cross fingers and hope.

    Basically OP. I hated ksing mages when I started on Combine and later Fippy. Bastards sat back an ate all the mobs long before my guy had a chance to even get close - so no tears here for them ;-)

    Play more EQ. If that Necro isn't good enough then "good necro class" must mean "way the fuck OP" compared to every other class.

    Speaking of Asteroids I'm dubious on the calculations for 1997 XF11 for 2028. It makes a close approach to Pallas (2) and Earth before then so quite possible of alteration in orbit. Time to get your shovels out and start building that asteroid shelter. From 1950 to 2100 Planet...

    So Snowden has applied for Asylum in the USSR. Had Obama just offered the guy a pardon right off the bat he and his laptops would be sitting happily in D.C. instead of Moscow, the NSA story would be dead and we'd all be talking about the idiocy of naming your baby North West instead. Fuckin'...

    There has to be some soloable content since it is a FTP game. I'd expect some variation on the Vanguard: 1-6 dot mobs as opposed to EQ con-mobs with grouping required for dungeons and the rougher outdoor areas.

    DCUO was a blast until you hit level 30. But it wasn't really an MMO. Anyway, EQN needs hotbar combat, preferably EQ-like with a limited number of selections 8-10 max. I'll agree 10 hotbars of 10 bars each gets ridiculous. Anything else means a shitty game no matter what else it has.

    Hell no. Fuck twitch/FPS combat in an MMO, especially in an Everquest MMO. Go back to the Wildstar thread. Also did you not read the StoryBricks BS - that replaces questing.

    Yes, you can't keep doing it forever without getting horribly bored. Unless things along the journey are constantly changing.
