I don't see that happening, but WoW has a new system of "flex raiding" that scales content based on participation. The range is only from 10 to 25 though, their current small/large raid forces. We've discussed scalable raid encounters for a long time. I'm still waiting for the entry that lets...

Linear content progression is one of the reasons for massive content churn. I'm interested in a plausible horizontal progression game, or at least a linear progression with a much much wider hallway.

oh wait what. slotting the ability weakens his stamina? is this like path of exile where spells are sockets we put in our gear? I'm confuzzled. Don't you have nerd girls to daterape dude? get your priorities in order. talk to us tomorrow.

I want FFTactics' magic guns. Not bullet guns like in WoW. These guns shoot magic. Not magical bullets, magical spells. They're like staffs with a trigger and a holster. Awesome!! Quickdraw, and I shoot a gigantic ice comet at you. Best class ever.

The only way any EQ will ever be relatively successful to the WoW clones is to convince their players to defect, so they'd de facto understand why it's good.

summoning is lame as hell. I despise that shit in just general moment to moment play in EQ. Can't move the mob because he's fucking summoning me every tick. It's fucking terrible for fight design.

I couldn't do that. I'm an atheist, yet somehow I maintain a romantic notion of karma. I'd be worried it would come back to bite me later.

Appearance has a huge effect on species popularity. WoW launched with a gigantic imbalance of like 75/25 between the two sides because the horde was ugly as fuck. This wasn't mitigated until the first expansion when they gave them a new race, anorexic fashion model elves. It's pretty even...

One of the tweets during the panel was that gravity hurts. Don't take too much away from those videos. They were basically just eye candy. This was little more than a tech demo. 8:00 for the relevant part, and he says things like "go back in there". So it could be you going back for part...

Frogs get a lot of hate like rats, especially from troll players b/c of the whole Grobb event.

I personally would like a DoTA style set of classes. Dozens of ultra-specialized classes with an consistent inner synergy (stealth and backstab) and a kind of role based group synergy (distract - ae confuse) with very few abilities. I don't like big rambling classes that do a bunch of shit...

Those videos are lame. That app is weak.

EVE has gear based classes basically (vehicle based), and I dig it. You do need to touch base to swap your gear out though. It would be very silly to swap from ranger to cleric to necromancer in the middle of a raid depending on what boss is up next, and be fully capable to excel at that. I...

Even Assaults were not won that fast. In some cases siege equipment had to be built or repaired on-site, and ammunition might be foraged from the countryside. Even if you had working siege weapons and plenty of ammo, you sat there and let it work. Or you might use sappers to undermine the...

And fuck the druid/wizard monopoly on travel. I've never been into that. Give me a griffin system at least. I'll pay if a port is convenient, but I'm not going to haggle and send tells forever to get somewhere. I'd rather hop on a griffin and go AFK than go through that constantly...

1000%, that's a part of the concept.

This is some wake the sleeper shit. We will form a pact to prevent the siege from ever being lifted so we can farm the battle commanders forever for tier 7 weapons. I see what you're saying. I agree with you. This kind of stuff should beextremely accessiblein its time. It should basically be...

I'd love for a dynamic long siege. I talked that up during Shadowbane testing. The sieges were basically just quake matches with the winner decided in an hour. You should wake up under siege, go to sleep under siege, and over and over. Historically speaking, sieges would often last for...

Seemed fine to me, but we've been chatting about it on and off in IRC since the con started.

Yea, until your shotgun is also a flamethrower you don't have enough firepower.

unsure, but they releasedthis pdf, and mentioned that more will come. In any case, as a former high elf paladin a story about firiona vie vs. miragul is highly relevant to my interests.

haha, and yea. I couldn't get to the site either. I proxied in a few times.

when ironman mode is enabled the screenshots of the world map should have a flexing arm watermark covering it.

I sense sarcasm, but it's a fun idea. Of course since we can't see the individual votes, they can stuff the ballot box all they like. I'm in the same boat.

It is an exaggeration. Carrying some scrub that does 6k dps when the average for his role is 50k is not pleasant. It doesn't have to be absurd difficulty of raiding for it to matter. And PvP is far more about coordination in WoW than DPS.

Yea, Zehn talked about stuff like this going back a ways. I'm curious if we have old school mana bars. :P I don't think I've seen many positive responses to the Kerran. I'm a little perturbed by it as well. Hopefully they give us options to emulate other cats of differing sizes in creation...

There was plenty of EQ in the concept art for me. The game is still being developed. The combat style and mobility options needed a facelift pretty damn badly, and they showed off how progressive they want to be there.

Making it quest based essentially makes 100% of your progress locked behind access quests. Of course you could have multiple ways to move forward, so it's not a bottleneck unless you're fixated on a particular goal. But this does bring up the whole issue of incremental advancement. People...

meh, trial and error on the holes. They said they'll heal rapidly depending on circumstance.

I need more info about these nested classes. 1) why hasn't rogue/necromancer been a thing before? Is it a thing here? That is just a natural progression. 2) I want my paladin of tunare to not be a "paladin" or have more customization since those have typically been very mith...

Yea, the broad strokes are a wet dream really. I am pleasantly surprised at what they're trying to do. I hope they can manage it. The devil is in the details here, and I still want there to be a highly scripted well balanced PvE game at the core of all these other things. That part of the...

This map will probably be common as fuck soon. I saw it on polygon.

$$$, money in the bank man. I would love to see this as satire, but the hate would incite larger riots.

I feel I've captured the juxtaposition of rerolled and metal with this GIS find.

This video is supposed to be the first half of the night, but it's bugged. It doesn't play despite the mouseover of the timeline showing plenty of content. The EQ/EQ2 Keynote video does function though. Here'sSOE Live by MC Ohm-I. I don't think this version is the live one from...

1. Entire planet to interact with. There are still dead zones in the map like the arctic circle, landlocked africa (exception of mali/hausa), the amazon rainforest, the american midwest, etc. that weren't really exploited by europeans during this time. 2. You don't control a character...

hey hey hey trying to make it autoplay...failure *grumble*

An 8 ball Tad linked on the internet, durr

I had this whole explanation, but then the site died for half an hour.I'll try again later.
