Unless you fuck yourself out of a certain class by your actions andreallywanna play it.

You can still do things like that, though. Except now instead of just being super powerful and steamrolling mobs to get corpses, maybe you're one of the only tier 5 rogues on the continent with Stealth of Shadows. You're still a badass and you still save the day, you just might not do it by OHKO...

Fair enough. I still love the idea of keeping content challenging no matter what tier you are, though. One of the worst travesties of EQ's existence is that so many of the great zones that we all came up in are barren wastelands now.

Tad said they would be smaller, like 24

Not really.. I didn't get interested in facerolling old content until I was 60+

Except that didn't happen until a few expansions in and EQ was great before that. If you want a god character go play Final Fantasy. EQN ain't for you bro.

I think you will just have better tools at your disposal. AOE snare wouldn't mean I could single handedly kill 100 orcs in Crushbone. A volley type attack doesn't mean that I'm going to have a ton more HP or tanking ability.

Yeah that's another cool thing, every stat is a benefit to every character in some way. I expect that the tier locks will not be due to monster strength, but probably will be due to abilities you'll need to beat the encounter. Like maybe AOE mez is a tier 4 enchanter spell, so you'll be fucked...

They are probably really concerned about accessibility in the future because in its current state, EQ is damn near impossible for a new person to start up and enjoy. SOE wants to make sure that someone can buy EQNext two years (or 10 years) down the road and jump right into the fray with...

There are no levels or exp in a traditional sense. You start with one class, and that class has set tiers for you to unlock to gain new abilities for that class. You unlock these tiers by completing certain requirements based on the class. The example given was unlocking tier 3 warrior by...

I like the idea that no one will ever be able to blow through Crushbone solo no matter how advanced their character is. Unfortunately one of my favorite things to do in EQ1 was to log in and destroy every dragon in Western Wastes whenever I was bored.

Sorry, being able to mix 4 skills does not mean you can be everything.

You don't have to multiclass if you don't want to. Butler said that if you want to play a rogue all the way through end game, that will be viable. He said no matter what you choose to play, their goal is just to make sure you're having fun.

It's just hard to tell when someone is asking a question, when someone is making a statement... Like, Are people asking if they are bringing back old mobs, or are the devs confirming old mobs are back? Is someone asking Steve how he's going to play? Stringing those bullet points into a couple of...

Please try to write more than 5 words per line tomorrow for some context man. It's hard as hell to follow what you're talking about.

I'm hoping some of those 40 classes are actually class titles from the original game. Like Pathfinder, Warden, Forest Stalker could all be extra-specialized Ranger classes.

I agree the Kerran looks a little out of whack but the human girl looked great.

Yeah when they only have two character models and a couple of enemies to show, I think it's a little bit early to be critiquing battle systems and shit.

Smed mentioned that on occasion caves will collapse and refill, earthquakes will happen, etc.

Smed was very specific to say that Landmark will be OUT this year. Not beta.

Whole presentation was fucking incredible. This is exactly what I wanted.

Can't lie dudes, TOV looked pretty amazing and had a sense of scale I wish the original had. Probably my favorite raid zone in all of EQ.

OH SHIT TOV

lol sexism

Anything that happened that they didn't plan for was "emergent."

Here's to hoping they show a single glimpse, "but wait, there's more!" of EQN at the very end of this thing.

WTB sony a fuckin clock

StoryBricks gives the possibility of long involved quest lines unique to your character and their accomplishments. That's what I'm most hoping for.

I could see them randomized quest objective/npc locations within a set of areas that makes sense for the quest.

Fuck yeah, son. Did we screw ourselves by signing up?

People that pay money for beta access seem like the kind of people that would be far more willing to fill out bug reports and help with development to me.

The whole ransom scene was some of the dumbest shit ever.

Our knowledge of how summons work require that there be a contract between the two parties, you're right. This can be explained though by assuming Madara had Kurama under genjutsu control when he created the contract. They are obviously not on good terms, and every time Madara/Tobi summon him...

Well Madara tried to summon the kyuubi but only failed because it's still sealed, seems like it works fine.

fucking rofl

WOW that guy (Askren?) that just defended his title in Bellator is such an asshole... Said he broke his opponent, called the audience communists and called himself the best fighter in the world after one of the most boring fights I've ever seen.

~550k in mid 2004. Dropped hard when WoW launched in November.

Walt never disliked Gale, he only got rid of him to save Jessie. No reason to throw away a gift from someone who idolized him. Hank is literally the only person on the planet that could decipher that G.B/W.W. note and know what's up. Although I guess Walt should have expected Hank to take a shit...

Yeah Vulak ring is way rougher than any other content in the Velious era. My guild was one of the first to complete it on Bertox years back but we were already progressing through lower tiers of PoP at that point.
