I don't understand the "it's fun the first time, fun for casters not tanks, Ping-Pong matches, etc". In EQ, if the tank did not get aggro, was there a ping pong effect? If the healer got aggro for a few seconds until the tank got it back, was this not a ping pong effect? GW2 has already shown...

Nice video! Couldn't get the thought of Adebisi's curvy girl thread out of my mind as I watched it though.

I agree it isn't truly unique but I don't think we need that for the next step forward. WoW took out things many people didn't like, polished the hell out of the framework, and added a few options other companies thought of into a better package. This can be the same step forward. EQN can...

I think they are playing the data very well. You show some very progressive ideas behind closed doors at E3 and win some awards just based off 'vision'. This ups the hype early. Go into your own show and add to the hype with videos that show vision but give very little details because honestly...

That's my problem with TESO. Slowly edging over to where they aren't really different than the next guy. We need unique at this point or at least a promise of unique. At least the EQ devs are used to criticism for the most part. Death threats should have serious consequences though. People do...

True, but it really depends on how long you've been gone and how flexible that free weekend is. Blizzard are experts at giving just enough new stuff to get an extra 90 day sub. It's really not worth it but it seems like it the first few times. I also don't like the feeling that I have to spend a...

Don't worry, I've got this!

I would probably agree if I saw anything that was new and innovative enough to be worth that monthly investment. Maybe EQN if they get everything they promise but how likely is that? This game is nowhere near the improvement in the genre for me to award them more than initial buying price. Also...

I have to agree with this. So far, it's a variant of WoW at a time when B2P and F2P are both extremely popular. We'll see how FF14 does with a similar model but this will probably end up being a 6 month guilty pleasure until TESO or EQN hit late in '14. WoW wasn't an 800 lb gorilla early and...

Furious, I want to personally thank you for my gas. Now, if only you could get it to us cheaper asshole!

Everything in bold can be done at any time.They've already said that you don't need to participate in RC. RCs are for players that want to do that content.

Amazingly good looking game that would have made me excited for months as a teenager. As an adult who's tried the same type games, will leave it to others to test it out for me. Koreans make beautiful games but for a different market.

I've begun to get on board with the changes to the lore. If the Combine(all these races living together) comes back then they should all be allies early. That doesn't mean they start out with even one city in the beginning. It's a few camps. What will be interesting is if they base starting...

One starting city fits their narrative and their choice to ensure everyone has a lot of other players around for a while. It will suck for people who like different starting experiences and for any alts made later in the game. One RC every 3 months means there will a long wait for anyone who...

They put in Lanys T'Vyl as a leader of the Tier' Dal. A Thex prince leads this group. They are stuck somewhere with no way home. Lots of places they could go from this point. The guys at SOE want one starting area but that doesn't mean they can't add stuff later(as someone mentioned earlier).

That painting was heavily stylized. I still don't know if they will have a great look but being larger than that painting depicted is a good start. Non cursed Ogres seem to have much less 'power' than they did in the original lore but the new direction should give me the opportunity to make an...

Hepler didn't deserve what was dished at her. I don't think a lot of designers, programmers, directors need to be interactive with the community at all. If you like my game, buy it and if you don't then move on. Too many entitled douches out there. She was the wrong person for that job but maybe...

Bingo! On Alex Smith...he's been a steaming pile for most of his career. Let's see if Reid's replacement can get more out of Vick or if Mr. Smoke and Mirrors can push another average QB(Smith) past previous limits one more time.

Do you think they will have a sub only model available even if EQNL and EQN do great? I'd love to think so but Im not sure.

No one is truly dismissing what he went through as a kid though. Honestly, isn't that the overall arc of the story? He wants to make his family's killers pay? The part of him being a street urchin is just a logical choice of furthering the story. Kvothe is a gigantic Gary Stu but losing your...

Get over the white knighting Grimmlokk. Rothfuss is trying to find every single life experience this guy could have to be his Gary Stu. Charisma with crowds, lets add in an entertainer's history. Magical savant, traveling mage teacher. Sex demon, ancient goddess of sex he suborns at 16. Attack...

Blackwulf, You may not be marketing for TESO but it sure sounds like it. Promising not to speak about some awesome stuff you know means nothing. This game may rock and you could be right. Doesn't mean your posts sound any different than a fluff post regurgitated over and over into infinity...

Pretty good story. Thanks for the link Teekey.

Lol, nice comeback. I wasn't and the lore isn't a deal breaker for me but I don't find it to be a great idea either. I don't like guns and renaissance versions of my EQ either but maybe this thing will help make EQ3. As long as it's fun I will be playing it but I do think they are trying too...

Nice but i'd have the first image be the DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future. One car is neat and futuristic but the other one lets you go back in time. I know which one is worth more to me

Good posts Teekey and Jarnin but it really removes a lot of the relevance of the gods which EQ2 already tried and it must have failed(since they reinstated them). I don't truly buy the gods become more relevant by doing less in a world. Honestly, ancient 'deities' of the earth were much more...

Yeah, I'll just play along with the Red Pandas and gun down some poor kobold lizards.

While personally I hate that Innoruuk was discarded(as well as quite a few others), I just don't understand the need for it. There is no good reason to fuck with the lore this much unless they are lazy or just trying to make a quick buck. I'd rather DEs be a later entry race 6 months down the...

So glad he got this finished. There just isn't enough good fantasy ever out.

Lol, yeah it's still a good story but he's a prick and it sometimes interferes with my enjoyment of the story. "Hey guys I'm not perfect! Math bores me and some people don't like me either. I had a rough couple of years too!" It's like writing a good He-man story and he complains about having to...

A damn shame too. Hearing about pirates and ninjas today while still reeling over the reshuffle of the gods has me less confident that i'll truly enjoy this game for any extended time. Did they learn nothing from EQ2? Why destroy parts of the game that can be easily added while not affecting the...

No, you don't get it. I'm fine with that stuff and would like to be in on trying to destroy Halas with my DE necro. It's not a priority for Sony or any other top developer to make games for people that try to make games less fun for any group of people. That's counter productive to their goals...

Nope, quite wrong tbh. See, Sony likes money more than they like that subset so im quite fine in that regard. If I want to play that, there's other options out there for it. Thanks for thinking about me though. It's nice.

The RCs aren't going to be as cool or sandboxy as anyone here wants(me included). They aren't going to limit classes, they want to see Halas in some form of constructive state, and a theme they are pushing is the rebuild of the continent after the long time away. I could blame it on sony being...

Rhino, I get your point but this isn't some start of the world Civ game. The world has already been inhabited for a while so having everyone as neutral early doesn't make much sense. Reminds me of the Aesop fable about the scorpion and the frog. 'Because it's in my nature'... I can see DEs...

Really liked reading the books but Kvothe does seem very Mary Sue-ish(or Gary Stu). The guy can magically somehow subvert a powerful elder fae who then decides she must teach him to be amazing at sex. Just the most off-putting example. Great skill at weaving an interesting story but Rothfuss...

Everyone neutral really would be a stupid decision. I truly want to slow down the formation of Halas as a DE necromancer who is dedicated to Innoruuk. That probably wont happen but Troll Pallys sound ridiculous. Much like flesh eating, white unicorn mounts for DE necros. Ok, I could live with...

I think it was a good movie with a great message. The typical American needs to be sledgehammered to understand more than basic ideas. Throw in more action to keep them happy and Bam! - your new movie may build upon District's success. This is the kind of movie this guy likes to make and I'm...

Too hard to effectively balance. Let's say an uber guild goes out and crushes everything they meet based mainly off great communication and numbers(they get new recruits daily for the grind because they are 'winning'. When they get to a raid, then they just recruit locals as well. Suddenly EQN...

I'll miss Qwerty too but only as a rare source of humor. His opinions always shat up threads for pages and you could see a thread derail coming when he was in the forum. Did anyone ever get any meaningful debate, answers, etc from talking to the guy?
