Mkopec. Of course there are defined roles and I agree with what you are saying here. But, there doesn't have to be holy trinity in it's strictest sense. EQ worked off tank, healer, crowd control as did early WoW. WoW moved towards more healer, tank, dps, and then tried to move back towards...

Ukerric, I disagree with a lot of your post even though the end result could be just like GW2. SOE caving to a subset of gamers. This isn't a classic MMO, they are using Storkbricks, are therefore going beyond classic AI, and it's way past time more companies tried to move from a very old...

Nice screenshots. That always helps. Vu needs more help.

Camping derv camp 2 already. Move along!

Exactly!! This game has Storybricks not the tired old thoughts of myopic gamers to decide what their AI is going to do. I second this opinion!!

Dahkoht, I agree. That interview was the best thing they've done so far. Brad is definitely stepping it up. Hopefully he keeps these interviews going and can find a lot more backers. Edit- I'm one of those creepy elf loyalists. Always the dark ones though.

Lol.

I also hope they have learned from the things GW2 did poorly. That is one advantage to GW2 doing certain things first. Good feedback for this team on what to try and avoid. If you don't like something then we just have to hope theres enough negative feedback for them to reassess. This game won't...

+1 Skanda. Well played good sir. Well played.

Great post and my 7 yr old nephew is a huge minecraft addict. If they can make the tools easy enough for kids(or older people lol), then it will go a long way towards success. Mkopec, I'm hoping some people build their own PvP worlds. Then we just have to choose which one we like the most...

Yep, one of their best selling points at this time sadly.

I tried. Brad shot me down

Mkopec, The game will have combat at some point. At that point it will offer everything minecraft does and more. The designers are giving you the tools they will use to make EQN. They will possibly use your creative assets in their game. You can build your own game eventually is one of their...

Not only that but the tools for creation are much more powerful. SOE wants people to design their own games off this. We can affect EQN possibly. No other game is really offering these perks or even trying to.

It doesn't seem you've kept up with any of the games. Maybe you should educate yourself first?

I agree. If SWToR became a success, this should as well. Console access will keep this alive just like micro transactions really helped keep SWToR going. You just have to find or build what your audience wants.

Yeah, my major disappointment as well. Maybe the reason they are doing this is because of the massive battles to start up a city or to kill a dragon. The books have made dragon killing to be extremely difficult to actually accomplish. Instead of having to form a raid or making dragon killing...

Only if I play the Halasnosians(NEW RACE GUYS!). Then we can talk about polar bears. The Halasnosians are a people of the north with some ancestral roots with the humans. They fell from Barbarianania and set up their capital city of Eternia. Champions of justice and lifelong enemies of all that...

Ut, you just got a new pledge! Can I hear moar please? I'm glad it wasn't a black bear because those interfere with the kind of background scenery I enjoy in these games. It affects my immersion. Troy, what exactly is there to talk about then? The amazing concept art? The combat doc? The...

I'm glad Brad is adding paid benefits. It shows he is desperate and trying his best to get this thing funded somehow. I won't play this enough for P2W types things to matter and I don't buy those anyways. But if this helps him get funded, go Brad! Brad has done a pretty good job this past week...

Same here. I didn't think I would cheer for them again because EQ2 was botched pretty badly and they weren't the best at customer service with EQ itself. I remember how hard it was to get responses to serious game flaws in EQ and how often they released expansions that didn't really add to the...

Merlin, glad to see consistently bad posts no matter what forum you decide to follow. Did you play all of those games? Do you know what they were trying to accomplish, their flaws, or anything about them honestly? Or are you just painting with a broad brush like you do in the politics thread...

Want to make a blinking rogue tank. Mob wants to move on past me to squishies? Sure, let me just blink behind you and backstab you back to me. Dodge his attacks, he tries to attack that wizzie again? "Come ere!" Now they just need to give me a spear with a rope attached...

I want to reiterate that I don't mind swapping out if there is a need for a healer and you can heal. I am definitely against any form of combat switches and the like. Make the switch take 5 minutes of meditation or something. The player has to focus their being, retrain the mind, etc as the...

Merlin, Good try but Brad's got all he's going to get from me. He needs to find some more pledges. This is the game I'm looking forward to. That game will just be a nostalgia trip occasionally. This game has fresh ideas, very strong support from a good team, and made Blizzard tuck their tails...

I think judging EQN by a video that is almost 6 months old isn't doing the game justice. I also think there are a lot of people that won't try something just because. Honestly, I think that's pretty small minded. With Storybricks and the rest of the innovative approaches they are using, the game...

Same here. He sounds slimy at first but then once you get used to him, the enthusiasm spills out and he's done a good job so far with the info. Even the horrible polls are tolerable now. Compared to Brad, he's a much better lead of a project. Sad to say, but true.

I don't think they will let you switch that quickly. I wouldn't want that decision either. I want my decisions to count not just be switched out like stances in WoW.

I really like the system. If you want to be a healer, you don't have to start from scratch, you just have to have learned the skills. If you want to be a warrior but want to be a bit unique, you can be. It's all up to us to a point and I find that refreshing. Just like EQ gave us emergent...

Convo, I hate to say it but once the EQNL alpha hits, I probably won't be posting here and will just check in on day 39 to see if miracles can happen here. Everything has been mentioned at least 100 times(by Booze alone), and this thread got pretty boring and lackluster much like the KS TBH...

Brad should have found some cheap, younger artists to make some concept art early in the process. As Quaid mentioned, there are a ton of young artists who would love an opportunity to have their name associated with anything in the public eye. Tons of concept art would have already probably...

If EQNL wasn't doing their alpha during this, I'd probably play just to play something until Wildstar. Hoping EQNL keeps me away from that as well but I really do want to see how close to vanilla that game ends up.

Dahkoht, I'm the same way. I loved the original EQ but WoW was a better made game and I also enjoyed it early. I wasn't sure I'd play this at first even though I've played every EQ made(including that horrible RTS game). The more I heard, the more I liked.

Yeah, thank you, Brad? Seriously though, I think he would have at least tried it even if it had funded. Had to play something in the meantime right?

Huge fan of the Black Company. Bit of a derail but what else is there to talk about right?

Using Zzeris in game.

It's the internet but the sandy vags out there are getting pissed because it didn't release earlier than expected? C'mon, I don't give a flying fuck what ponytail or any dev says as long as the game delivers. Some pretty sensitive little fucks out there.

Great post Faggins! I completely agree and have thought for weeks now that a $25 tier would be the best shot of making actual money. None of the tiers are real deals. Brad is saying, "look, I made a shitty game last time so because of this error, I will give you MF'ers some sweet deals. How...

That doesn't tell the whole story though. Sure, playing with the same 5-10 people isn't exactly what voice chat is usually used for many times. It's the 20 or possibly more that raid together as a guild. Get better friends...doesn't really mean jack shit in that circumstance. Sure, you meet...

Soygen, I agree. The ability to link claims should be a selling point and is very important to me. The best creations would probably be a group effort and isn't that exactly what they want to see? I'd love to see the extensive creations some groups could create.
