I agree that the gear aspect is pretty much the same thing and probably the main reason some people continue the hamster wheel. They are talking about doing a whole lot more than just that though. It's like getting a new sports car that does almost everything different but you focus on engine...

Partially true but simplified a whole lot. All games up to now had various ways to level but that was the end goal. You did what you needed to get to the end game for raiding most of the time. With leveling removed, we don't know how they will show progress. You maybe can cook, or explore which...

Thanks guys! I will definitely watch a few drafts and I already bought Naxx so maybe this will save me the next time.

So, as a new player like Cyni but with previous MtG exp...how hard is it to get into Arena and actually have positive results early? I've gotten to rank 12 for a short period the other day and have been grinding with a decent hunter deck, a slow and usually outclassed priest and a decent Druid...

Lol, sounds initiative already. As long as the UI shows the food gauge in a totally different area than the stamina gauge, super movement cool down gauge, and the super special moves gauge(and the armor and health bars) I'll be ok.

It was Super Heroic of you to share this with us. Did it tax your health or armor levels and how quickly did they recover? Thanks.

In the end, there shouldn't be a reason to make them paper dolls. The classic "look" can be made in character selection if you want it. Having restrictions like that in a PVE setting is limiting when it doesn't have to be. Plenty of games have figured it out even 15 years ago. I'm hoping they...

Exactly. A warrior with 300 health and 300 armor is much harder to damage than a wizard with 300 health and 50 armor. Games have used armor mitigation with great success for years. There could be plenty of reasons why a wizard wouldn't want or couldn't use heavy armor. A character that does 500...

Those examples really don't justify that since it is primarily a PVP based fix. As Heallun mentions, the mobs were not era relevant and there were multiple ways a mob could kill a wizard without low HP being needed. There is truly no need to have low health glass cannons outside of a PVP fix. Is...

No offense but I think changing your life total every time you change classes in a game with 40 classes is kind of stupid. Armor can do the job of balancing just fine. I've never been a fan of the fragile caster preconception anyways. At least one series I've read has very robust casters because...

That kind of reward may not be for you. They have already stated they want rewards for whatever playstyle you have. For some, like me, unique mobs are a great step forward and I want to be part of as many one time events as possible. I want to see how the environment changes. What I can help do...

I completely agree. When will they finally update computers to play this amazing stuff once again? I just thank god that we didn't have shitty symbols like this- Would have made the game totally unplayable.

I disagree. I think it trying to push into new territory which will probably turn off some but there's games on the horizon for them too. Being like everyone else would be another WoW clone which was just an updated EQ...fixed. The elements that some really want to see remade will never happen...

I don't think $2k satisfies him(not a lot of money really) but he isn't a coder, lore guy, artist, etc,etc,etc and has to work with whoever will come for free. This 'game' is dead as hell and I hate to even help keep it on the first page here.

I don't think EQN will be at all like most people have mentioned for the last few pages(and earlier). It will be very similar to a MOBA and there won't be a lot of unique loot that just drops off one mob. I don't think they want to encourage camping, twinking or any of those other archaic...

Rescorla, I'd love to see harder content but players are notoriously lazy and stupid. We can use Dark Souls over and over as an example while never seeing it in MMOs. GW2 tried something different and it was too hard on people. WoW didn't change it's grouping mechanics just on a whim. I hope...

Ut, Great points on all of that and I pretty much agree with all of it. Is Georgeson going to over hype the product? Yeah, I think he will just like Molyneux has always done. I do think it will end up being very good though(just not what he describes completely). I do hope the partnership...

Ut, To throw another perspective on the points you have made. 1) Storybricks can't do any worse than what we have and they know exactly what kind of story telling experience is out there right now. Sure, it may end up being less revolutionary than hoped for from all fronts. That doesn't...

Sounds like this game is custom made for PRX. Large guilds with good leadership have an automatic advantage but this allows the advantages to extend beyond a small instance or blocked off area of the map

I barely played after a month because i'm just not a very good builder. With that said, I have no regrets and didn't buy for the perks. I've never really seen early adopter perks being worth anything months after release. Anyone else? I got into this to help them test for EQN and hopefully my...

I think Quaid's idea is similar to what WoW is doing and that's not all bad. DPS should not be the defining characteristic of your character. It should not be the basis of the game when everything is boiled down to it's core. That is the problem right now, not the ability of people to actually...

It was a sarcastic response but diversity, by definition, is variety and 40 at launch is a lot more variety than the 14 EQ had. Did you possibly mean unique abilities or concept? If so, the SK was a warrior /necro hybrid, Pally a cleric/warrior hybrid, Ranger warrior/druid hybrid, BL was a...

40 CLASSES! BOOM! SOE's got your back!

Top notch Keg. Tuco, you are da lawwww!

This game is the future of both Storybricks and the EQ franchise. While this will not be comparable to what Storybricks could do in five years, it will still be the best product they can possibly supply. I'm pretty sure this is a significant step forward in any light we want to shine it.

Tarrant bringing the thread back to life. Keep it coming bro. Don't fear the hate.

I do agree with them though. I can't imagine this game failing from a financial point which is the primary goal. It is doing so many things differently and is getting so much hype that a ton of players will be trying it out. If the gameplay is smooth, I see this taking off because there just...

I'll donate $20 to the cause but do we have a guy really willing to do this? Gav, don't back down bro. Rerolled needs you. Ravvenn needs you.

That's why I'm glad this game doesn't have traditional exp or traditional leveling. Fuck trying new ways to do the same old shit. It's been decades of that shit. There has to be another way to do things.

A lot of great ideas but some would be hard to implement in a large pop game. Would planning and preparing for a long trip into unknown territories be a fantastic idea? Sure, but how many modern players would do this with a realistic chance of failure? The chance of failure needed to make it...

I will be doing the same. I think that working with the voxel tech is what's slowing this game down a lot. The live testing of certain issues with EQL will help this launch immensely whenever that is. Still the game I've been most excited for a quite a while.

Add me to the group as well. This game looks like it will be a blast.

Done. Quaid, I wish you had that kind of money too.

Damn, Ceder's and Quaid's derail was the most entertaining part of this thread for the past 10 or so pages. It is now my pejorative to return these prerogative feelings back to this thread in order to ameliorate the impact to my pleasurable reading. I hope this attempt alleviates these...

While there is a point there...it may seem impossible to sell your mansion and move into a smaller home, but it has been done. Would I have started a new venture with my own funds? Only if I was serious and had researched extensively. We know neither is true and so he went with whatever option...

Damn dbl post.

We'll miss his poignant remarks and exceptional intellect almost as much as Bradley misses Microsoft's money.

If you could expnad on this statement or if someone else could? Why has it lost this feel?

Unfortunately, this thread is like a MMO released a few years ago. Periodic content update with a short flurry of true activity but mainly the same old shit over and over. I still read it but only because there isn't something truly worthwhile to waste my time on right now. Maybe we just like...

While seen many times before, this info does put into context just how full of shit Brad has been for at least a decade. Of course the lack of accountability started early and you just can't ask him to change at this point. I do find it hilarious to see him blaming Microsoft for not giving him...
