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?

One possible good result of just 2 weapons per class is a de-emphasis on loot. Maybe weapons really won't be an overpowering priority in dungeons and during leveling. This could be exactly what the crafting community needs to stay relevant. Want weapons for the new class you just unlocked? Visit...

I could see Ogres being in the "Mos Eisley' of this rewrite. If the Ring of Scale has been victorious everywhere, that means the ogre 'homeland' could have been a victim. As a ruthless, intelligent, proud race in this retelling...Ogres could live with other races for their benefit until their...

Gogojira, Exactly! There may end up being things about this game that sucks balls. It's Sony right? But to make absolutist statements this early? For WoWtards, etc? Way too early. And this game could easily be the test production for EQ3 and get some of the bugs out of the way. There's no law...

Look retard. I'll try to make this simple and use your own words to see if you can understand any of this. Tad has already mentioned some of the classes will take some time to really dig into and that a piece of LOOT may make them more viable. Where did they say there was no rare loot at all...

A little more relevant than using a very hard console game as the main evidence of EQ's future viability. Tad gives good points pushing for a similar goal. A few others do as well. No problem saying you just don't like the art, direction, class set-up,etc. Making retarded absolutist statements...

Dumar, The main goal of both games is for people to get together and fulfill goals. One uses a rigid class formula to provide this vehicle. One won't but still will use the underlying premise of giving people ways to get together to accomplish goals. It's main difference is giving a less...

What's sad is to see a little fuckwit like you not understand the market has passed you by. I played EQ, enjoyed it but understood that time doesn't stand still. You, well, obviously the past decade has been pretty hard for you. Oh, if EQ3 is really made, it won't be a re-skin of what you like...

It's sad that the main example used that people want a re-skinned EQ is Dark Souls. I'd love for them to make EQ3 with some of the extra money they make off this game but using Dark Souls as the prime example of people needing EQ3 in their life? Pretty thin thread of logic ther...oops it broke.

Or just possibly, Bob the Druid likes to play druid most of the time but is a pretty good warrior when needed. Bob is remembered just as easily because you remember the player not the class he played. Why can't Bob be a good quad kiting wizard? Oh yeah, that's right. because if he is, you might...

Yeah, whatever Greg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv0tMhpvEWU

I think you do gain stats but they aren't the easy +10 str, 10 Dex, etc. It's more like +10 speed, +10 stamina for abilities ,etc.(if I remember Tad's explanation right). You do progress and gain power because a new character couldn't do the same things or have as many spells. It's just that you...

So, by chance, this is extremely similar to a new necro on EQ only getting a few spells in the beginning but this time you actually have to invest in your character a bit besides getting the ding? Similar to the spells that you needed components to make? Wow, who made that kiddie game? You...

I'm also believing this will be a 4th quarter release 2014. The game looks awesome to me but I didn't expect a re-skinned EQ either. The ability to not have alts everywhere but actually play my main all the time? Play whatever class I have earned? Mix abilities that I like to truly make my guy...

It would be sweet if their starting area was underground and they did have to tunnel up to meet the rest of us. Game will be no where near what I eventually would like to see but it's a starting point to at least see true progress.

One of the few comments you've made I actually agree with. I want a world not convienence mart 24/7. That's part of what fucked up GW2. Look, that guy is taking a dump in a different area!! Let's give him some more exp for that accomplishment! He learned to mix flour and water! Let's give him a...
